Originally known as Armistice Day, the day was first commemorated in 1919, following President Woodrow Wilson’s proclamation. In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, Congress amended the Act of 1938, changing the name to Veterans Day to honor all American veterans3. The observance was briefly moved to a Monday under the Uniform Holiday Bill in 1968 but was returned to November 11 in 1975 due to public outcry over its historical significance
