THE HISTORY OF VETERANS DAY

Veterans Day is one of many patriotic holidays recognized in the United States of America. President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11, 1919 as Armistice Day, commemorating the temporary cessation of hostilities that occurred one year prior. That armistice is often recognized as ending "the war to end all wars," though World War I wasn't officially recognized by The United States Congress as ending until June 4, 1926. In 1938, Armistice Day was approved as a national holiday.
