The History

• The History of Veterans' Day
• Formerly Armistice Day, Veterans Day is a holiday
  observed annually in the United States in honor
  of all those, living and dead, who served with
  the U.S. armed forces in wartime.
• Some states observe the holiday on November 11
  and others on the fourth Monday of October.
  Armistice Day, the forerunner of Veterans Day,
  was proclaimed in 1919 to commemorate the
  termination (at 11 am on Nov. 11, 1918) of World
  War I. On the first anniversary of the truce,
  U.S. President Woodrow Wilson issued a
  proclamation eulogizing fallen Allied soldiers
  and referring to November 11 as Armistice Day. It
  became a holiday in the U.S., France, Great
  Britain and Canada.
