About Veterans Day
Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day" on November 11, 1919, the first
anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926
for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Then President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars.
