I'm old enough to remember when Nov 11 was celebrated as "Armistice
Day" in honor of those who served in WWI.

First celebrated to remember "The eleventh month, the eleventh day,
the eleventh hour".

The change to "Veteran's Day is a rather recent event.


Depends upon the perspective of age:

June 1, 1954

My 25 daughter thinks it has always been that way ... and it has, to her.
