Who proposed changing the name to veterans day?
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.

Veterans Day is celebrated on what date?
Veterans Day is celebrated in the month of November on the 11th day. November 11, or what has come to be known as Veterans Day, was originally designated as a US legal holiday to honor Armistice Day - the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In a Congressional bill passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day." As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans. In 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day, honoring all who served honorably in the armed forces. It is observed as Armistice Day in New Zealand, France, Belgium, and Serbia, and as Remembrance Day (also Poppy Day) in countries of the British Commonwealth.
