Did you know?
- Veterans Day, originally called Armistice Day, was first celebrated in 1919. President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11, 1919 as a day to honor and remember veterans of World War 1. This date was chosen because the Allied Nations and Germany temporarily halted hostilities, also known as armistice, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918.
- Between 1971 and 1977, Veterans Day was observed on the fourth Monday of October.
- The Veterans Day National Ceremony is held at 11 am at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
