When did armistice day get changed to Veterans Day in order to include all us veterans?

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.


Who came up with Armistice Day?

The American Heritage Dictionary defines armistice as, "A temporary cessation of fighting by mutual consent; a truce." Armistice Day was the commemoration of the end of hostilities of World War I which ceased at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month French time in 1918. The Allies and Germany actually signed the armistice 6 hours earlier on that date. In 1954 President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation changing the name of Armistice Day to Veterans Day. November 11 was the traditional date for the holiday for obvious reasons. Veterans Day was one of the holidays that was made into a three-day weekend with the passage of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act signed into law on June 28, 1968 and took effect on January 1, 1971. But there was so much opposition to Veterans day being moved away from November 11 from Veterans groups and others (again for obvious reasons) that it was restored to that date by an act of Congress in 1975 effective in 1978.
