The observance dates back to 1919, when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as 鈥淎rmistice Day鈥 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 鈥渢he war to end all wars.鈥 Later, on Nov. 11, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower changed the name to Veterans Day and proclaimed it as a national holiday.
