Did you know?
Veteran's Day always falls on November 11th, no exceptions.
In 1918, World War I ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when an armistice was signed declaring the "war to end all wars" was finally over.
The next year on November 11th, the U.S. called the day "Armistice Day" in memory of all the men and women who served in WWI.
Congress changed the name to Veterans Day in 1954.
Veterans Day is a legal holiday in the U.S. to honor all who have served in the nation's armed forces
