A decade after what started out as Armistice Day, remembering the armistice agreement ending World War I, Congress made it an official holiday dedicated to world peace. Since World War I didn’t end all wars, President Eisenhower signed a bill changing the name of Armistice Day to the more inclusive Veterans Day, a holiday to thank all who had served the United States of America. And so on this 11th day in November, we say thanks to all the men and women who have served to protect our country.
