Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, was proclaimed by U.S President Woodrow Wilson on November 11, 1919 and was a day to honor those who died serving our country. On June 4, 1926, Congress requested that President Calvin Coolidge issue another proclamation to observe November 11 as a holiday and have proper ceremonies. This proclamation was approved on May 13, 1938, making November 11th, of every year, a legal holiday. Several years later, in 1953, Stephan Riod, from Emporia Kansas, had the idea of expanding “Armistice Day” to include all veterans, not just those who had died. He began a campaign and on May 26th, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed a bill making “Armistice Day” “All” Veterans Day, and on June 1, 1954, congress amended this act changing “Armistice Day” to “Veterans Day” and it has been that way since.
