Is Armistice Day is it another name for Veterans Day?
Yes – when the observance originated, WWI (The Great War) was so terrible on so many levels, it was thought there would never be another, so the day the Armistice was signed (the 11th hour of the 11thday of the 11th month)was made a holiday. Well, when WWII, Korea and Vietnam came along, it was decided to not continue to observe the end of these wars by another holiday (just too many to be productive), but to commemorate the end of all the wars by simply making one day, Veteran’s Day.
