It became a federal holiday in 1954. President Eisenhower declared it a national holiday in honor of United States veteran's. It is also sometimes called a national holiday.

U.S. holiday celebrated on November 11, honoring veterans of the U.S. armed forces and those killed in battle. Originally called Armistice Day, it began as a commemoration of the ending of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. After World War II it was recognized as a day to pay tribute to all service members, and in 1954 it was designated as Veterans Day.
