The name "Veterans Day" was proposed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954. He advocated for the change to honor all U.S. military veterans, as opposed to just those who had died in World War I, which was originally commemorated by Armistice Day. The new name was officially enacted by Congress, and the first Veterans Day celebration took place on November 11, 1954.
