First recognized as Armistice Day in 1919, the origins of Veterans Day go back to the end of World War I. The date marks when Germany and the Allies signed a 1918 agreement to end war hostilities. The fighting ceased on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. At the time, Nov. 11, 1918 was regarded as the end of "The war to end all wars," according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. In November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day and in 1953, President Dwight Eisenhower signed a law that changed the name to its current form: "Veterans Day" - shifting the holiday's focus from the original dedication of World War I veterans to veterans of all wars.
