Veterans Day 

Veterans Day use to be called Armistice Day because it was the day when Germany and America declared a aliance. It is held on November 11 because the official document was made in the 11th hour 11th day 11th month of 1918. But it wasn't until 1938 when Armistice day came to be Veteran day and was officially made a holiday.  Veterans Day is held in order to honor those in the army or marines and any type of military person. Its a way of saying thank you to those who serve to protect this nation.
