How did Veterans Day begin?

Answer 1

Veterans Day marks the end of the First World War. In other countries, they have similar holidays (Armistice Day, Remembrance Day etc). The major hostilities of the war ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, when Germany signed the Armistice.
Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day, and was proclaimed by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson on November 11th, 1919. In his proclamation, he stated:

"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."
It became a legal holiday, however, on May 13th, 1938. On this day, a Congressional Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U.S. Code, Sec. 87a) made the 11th November of each year "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'."

It became renamed as Veterans Day on June 1st, 1954. On this day, Congress amended a prior act to replace 'Armistice' with 'Veterans', and has stayed that way since.
