Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day, which was first observed on November 11, 1919, to commemorate the end of World War I. In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, the U.S. Congress officially changed the name to Veterans Day to honor all American veterans. The holiday is now celebrated annually on November 11.
