Armistice Day Becomes Veterans Day
World War I officially ended on June 28, 1919, with the
signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The actual fighting
between the Allies and Germany, however, had ended seven
months earlier with the armistice, which went into
effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the
eleventh month in 1918. Armistice Day, as November 11
became known, officially became a holiday in the United
States in 1926, and a national holiday 12 years later.
On June 1, 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to
honor all U.S. veterans.
In 1968, new legislation changed the national
commemoration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in
October. It soon became apparent, however, that November
11 was a date of historic significance to many
Americans. Therefore, in 1978 Congress returned the
observance to its traditional date. |
