Veterans Day
gives Americans the opportunity to celebrate the bravery and
sacrifice of all U.S. veterans. However, most Americans confuse
this holiday with Memorial Day, reports the Department of Veterans
Affairs. What's more, some Americans don't know why we
commemorate our Veterans on Nov.11. It's imperative that all
Americans know the history of Veterans Day so that we can honor
our former service members properly.
 Veterans
Day,
formerly known as
Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S.
legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially
took place on November 11, 1918. In legislature that was passed
in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace
and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As
such, this new legal holiday honored
World War I veterans.
