Veterans Day history goes back to 1918, on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, in the eleventh month. It was on this day the Armistice was signed to end the fighting of World War I. Armistice Day was voted a federal holiday in 1938 later to be renamed and declared Veterans Day by President Nixon. Veterans Day not only honors the men and women who have served in the United States armed services, but also remembers the sacrifices made during World War I to ensure lasting peace. The President officiates a ceremony conducted at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in Arlington National Cemetery, to remember all those who have fallen in battle over the years. Americans will commonly observe a moment of silence at 11:00 in the morning to show there respect for all who fought for peace.
