What day does Veterans Day land on?

Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day. The cease fire, or armistice, of World War I occurred at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, French time. The Allies and Germany had signed the armistice 6 hours earlier. It was first commemorated on November 11, 1919 to honor the veterans of WWI. (WWI officially ended on June 28, 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.)In 1954, after both World War II and the Korean War, legislation was enacted to change the word "Armistice" to "Veterans" to honor veterans of all wars in which the United States was involved.The Uniform Monday Holiday Bill was enacted in 1968 to make three-day weekends for federal employees for certain holidays. It went into effect in 1971. Veterans Day was one of the holidays so affected and the date of its observance was moved from its traditional date of November 11 to the last Monday in October. But there was so much furor from the public and veterans groups about the change of dates that it was restored to November 11 by an Act signed in 1975 and taking effect in 1978.

On May 26, 1954, the U.S. Congress passed, and Pres. Eisenhower signed, a bill expanding Armistice Day to be a day of recognition of all veterans of the U.S. armed forces rather than only those who died in World War I. Six days later, on June 1, 1954, Congress and the President amended the law, changing the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Veterans Day has been observed in the U.S. from 1954 to 1970 and every year since 1978 on the 11th of November and from 1971 to 1977 on the fourth Monday of October.
