U.S President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said

"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."

 
The First World War, in its time called the Great War, had its origins in the shots in Sarajevo and triggered 28 July 1914. More than a million soldiers died. On November 11, 1918 at. 11:00 AM stopped fighting and day celebration is still held in France and the UK. It is now 95 years since the guns fell silent on the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

Veterans Day is an official United States holiday which honors people who have served in armed service. It is a federal holiday. that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect.)

Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving.
