Veteran's Day celebrates every American veteran who served in USA armed forces from the Revolution to the present day. It was first called Armistice Day, celebrating the end of WWI on Nov. 11, 1918. Since WWII followed WWI (twenty years later), it did not make much sense to make a big deal about the end of WWI. WWII was far worse than WWI. So Armistice Day was changed to Veteran's Day to celebrate the living and dead veteran's of the USA armed forces. Memorial Day (at the end of May), remembers all the people who served in the Armed Forces, who died in the service of the USA. Memorial Day is for the dead. Veteran's Day is for the living and the dead.
