Veterans Day

Veterans Day! Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. Veterans Day started when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an "Armistice Day" for November 12, 1919. The United States Congress passed an agreeing resolution seven years later in 1926 requesting the President issue another proclamation to observe November 11 with appropriate ceremonies for the armies in the World War I and became a legal holiday. And then in 1953, a shoe store owner in Kansas, named Al King made a campaign "Armistice Day" to Veterans Day.
