November 11th – Veteran’s Day
World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.
Don’t Miss this Veteran’s Benefit
Service members may be missing valuable student loan benefits resulting in higher loan costs Like many Americans, active-duty military men and women are carrying significant student loan debt. The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC), the State’s student financial aid agency that helps people pay for college, reminds men and women serving in the military to review their student loans options to find opportunities for reducing their overall loan costs. A recent report issued by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that many service members are choosing less favorable repayment plans, which may lead to thousands of dollars in excess debt.
