Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day because the armistice ending the hostilities of World War I took effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year 1918 French time. (This date was not the official end of WWI as many people think. That happened on June 28, 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versialles.) Armistice Day was first observed on November 11, 1919, one year later! In 1954 the holiday was renamed as Veterans Day.
