What is Veterans Day?
Veterans Day marks the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. It was originally called Armistice Day and held on November 11th every year to commemorate this event. In 1954, Congress passed a resolution to officially change its name to Veterans Day and extend its celebration to all veterans.
Why is Veterans Day on November 11th?
Armistice, which means “a temporary cessation of hostilities,” was signed by Germany and the Allied nations in 1918 at 5:00 am on November 11th. This was one minute before a cease-fire would have gone into effect at 11:00 am on November 11th.
