What created Veterans Day?

Answer 1

Veteran's Day, which is November 11, is observed in the United States and Canada as well as other countries. It originated in 1918 (then called Armistice Day), at the end of World War 1, and was to honor the veterans of the armed services and in commemoration of the armistice that ended World War 1.

Answer 2

Not just to honor veterans but to mark and celebrate the cessation of hostilities between the belligerents during WW1 (Armistice Day) which was often commemorated by wearing a red poppy .

"In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.
