Veterans Day Flashcards

Veterans Day was originally a remembrance of those who fought in World War 1, and in 1954 it was changed to remember all those who fought in any war.

We celebrate Veterans Day on November 11 because it was intended to observe the 11 hour of the 11 day of the 11 month, marking the ending of World War 1.

It was originally called Armistice Day.
