(WWI did not officially end until June 28, 1919 when the Treaty of Versailles was signed.)

It was not until June 1, 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, that November 11 was officially renamed as Veterans Day and was designated to honor veterans of all wars in which the US had been involved.
