- Veterans Day
- The Great War came to an end when an armistice was signed on the eleventh hour
of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. One year later, President Wilson
established the first Armistice Day national observance, which included parades and
open celebrations honouring millions of American World War I heroes. Armistice Day
was declared a federal holiday by the Congress in 1938 as “a day to be dedicated to
the cause of world peace.” In 1954, the Congress changed the name of the holiday to
“Veterans Day” in recognition of all those who have given their lives in the line of
duty. - This year, dozens of large businesses and retailers are giving veterans and active-

The Civil War served as the basis for Memorial Day.
Memorial Day, on the other hand, is dedicated to remembering those who lost their lives
while serving in the US military. In the same way that Veterans Day was eventually
expanded to include those who perished in all conflicts, it was initially established to honour
those who served in the Civil War.
1. According to history professor Matthew Dennis, Memorial Day was first observed on
May 30 and was known as Decoration Day. On that day, those who perished in battle
had their graves adorned. People who fought in the Civil War, both for the Union
and the Confederacy.
2. It is thought that Waterloo, New York, is where the annual custom of placing flags
and flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers first began. Today, that custom is still
practised across the nation.
3. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, Congress changed the official
holiday’s date to the last Monday in May over a century later, in 1971.
