Veterans Day 2020 CelebrationNov. 11, 2020, named as Veterans Day, is a time set aside to honor those who served in the U.S. armed forces during times of war and peace.
Back in 1919, the reports of the Veterans Administration states that President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. In 1938, Armistice Day was made a legal holiday, set aside to honor veterans of World War I. In 1954, Congress changed the day from “Armistice Day” to “Veterans Day,” and, in 1954, officially declared it was a day to honor all American veterans of U.S. wars. Unlike many government holidays which are marked on a Monday, Veterans Day is observed on Nov .11, regardless of which day of the week it falls.Also, the day is a federal holiday as well as a state holiday in all the states of the USA.
