veterans day was called armistice day for years, til 1954. of course it was originally to honor the ww 1 vets. too bad the war to end all wars wasn't.
the name was changed to veterans day, and the intent changed to honor all veterans. but the day remains the 11 of november, when the armistice was signed by germany.
happy veterans day to all veterans, everywhere.
