Originally, this day was celebrated as “Armistice day” marking the peace agreement signed in Rethondes, France. In 1954 Congress designated November 11th as Veteran’s day in order to honor all Veterans.
In 1971 President Nixon declared it a Federal holiday on the second Monday in November which would be the 14th.
