Šťastný den veteránů

President Eisenhower signed the proclamation to rename Armistice Day to Veteran’s Day in 1954, 69 years ago. Each year, Veteran’s Day is celebrated on November 11th.

Veteran’s Day is observed on November 11th to mark the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I. The armistice between the Allies and Germany was signed on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, thus marking the end of hostilities on the Western Front. However, the war did not officially end until the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919.

This day was commemorated as Armistice Day to honor the end of World War I and to remember those who died in the war. However, after World War II and the Korean War, which resulted in many Americans volunteering or being drafted for service, the holiday was renamed Veteran’s Day in the United States to honor and recognize the service of all U.S. military veterans, not just those who died in World War I. This change was made official in 1954 through a bill signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The purpose of Veteran’s Day is to thank and honor those who have served in the military, in wartime or peacetime.
