Background:
- Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of the "war to end all wars." The war ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. In 1947, after World War II came to an end, Raymond Weeks organized Veterans Day in Birmingham, Alabama, honoring all Veterans; and the idea caught on prompting a bill to change Armistice Day to Veterans Day and to honor all American veterans who have served our country throughout all time.
- Over 15,800,000 veterans live in our great nation and have served our country since World War II. Since the founding of our nation in 1776, there have been over 41,000,000 men and women who have earned the title of veteran.
- Veterans throughout our history have fought to preserve Americans' freedoms and protect our liberties. Serving around the world from the Arctic to Japan and from the United States to Iraq, veterans have played a key role in the history of our nation.
