November 11, 2014 is veteran's day.
November 11, 1918 is consider "the war to end all wars". An Act that was approved on May 13, 1938 made the 11 of November every year a legal holiday. A holiday to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be celebrated as "Armistice Day". Armistice Day was a day to honor veterans of World War I. However, in 1954 World War II had need of more mobilization of soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen in the history of this nation. American forces had fought aggressively in Korea, the 83rd Congress act on the urging of the veterans service organizations to amend the Act of 1938 by removing the word "Armistice" and replacing it with the word "Veterans." It was the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954 that November 11 became a day in which to honor American Veterans of all wars. Thank you all for serving your country and your dedication was well appreciated. We honor you all for your bravery in World War I and in World War II.
