Veterans day is a federal holiday
in honor of those who have served for our country.
President Woodrow Wilson declared
November 11, 1919 as Armistice Day, a day that would be in remembrance of those
who died in service.
In 1945, Raymond Weeks, a veteran
of World War ll pushed for making November 11 a holiday for all veterans.
On June 1, 1954, Congress
replaced Armistice with Veterans.
