Veteran's Day is now always observed on November 11, regardless of the day of the week. Congress changed the date of the holiday to the fourth Monday in October in 1968, but the date was changed back to November 11 in 1978. Congress originally declared November 11 a federal holiday in 1938, and the name of the holiday was changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954.
No president officially changed it, some loser in the streets decided Veteran's day was cool name and changed it. Then it spread and soon losers all over the world were calling it Veterans day!

No, Gerald R. Ford did not change the name of Veterans Day. The holiday was originally known as Armistice Day and was observed on November 11 to commemorate the end of World War I. It was officially renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all American veterans.
President Eisenhower made Veteran's day a federal holiday in 1954. Before that, it was known as Armistice day. President Eisenhower Changed it because when Americans celebrate a holiday, he figures he should use a word that is less complicated.
For years afterward, the United States celebrated Armistice Day on Nov. 11 to mark the end of the war. Then in 1954, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day to commemorate veterans of all wars
