Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States that honors all those who have served in the military, both past and present. It is celebrated annually on November 11th, and was originally known as Armistice Day, marking the anniversary of the end of World War I.

The History of Veterans Day

The idea for Armistice Day was first proposed in 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson. He proclaimed that the day should be a time to "commemorate the sacrifices of those who fought in the Great War and to promote peace and reconciliation." The first Armistice Day was celebrated in 1919, and in 1938, it was renamed Veterans Day by Congress.
