November 11. "...a temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”
In 1954 President Eisenhower signed a bill to change the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day, to honor all America's veterans for their patriotism and willingness to serve.
