What created Veterans Day?

Veteran's Day, which is November 11, is observed in the United States and Canada as well as other countries. It originated in 1918 (then called Armistice Day), at the end of World War 1, and was to honor the veterans of the armed services and in commemoration of the armistice that ended World War 1. It was renamed from Armistice Day and given the added significance of honoring veterans in 1954.
