Veterans Day, also known as Armistice Day or Rememberance Day in other countries which fought in the First World War, is commemorated on the 11th of November, marking the armistice signed between the Allies and Central Powers. The armistice came into effect at 11am: the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month in 1918. Formerly known as Armistice Day in the United States, the name was changed to Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all those who have served and continue to serve in the United States Armed Forces.
