Veterans Day is observed on a date steeped in historical meaning, rooted in the end of World War I. The observance dates back to 1919, when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as Armistice Day to commemorate the month (11th), day (11th) and time (11 a.m.) in 1918 when fighting ended in World War I. On that date, U.S. and allied forces emerged victorious in a conflict once deemed the war to end all wars. Later, on Nov. 11, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower changed the name to Veterans Day and proclaimed it as a national holiday.
