Veterans Day Was Not Always Known By That Name: Learn The History Of This Holiday

Veterans Day was not always known by that name. This short video by the History Channel will show you how this holiday has undergone many changes over the last 101 years since its beginning on Nov. 11, 1919, when it was established by President Woodrow Wilson in memory of those who had fought during WWI.

Today, we remember all who have served in all of our wars and during times of peace. Service to the nation is and has always been one of the highest honors for those who have served. To serve is to put others before the self.

There is no other action more noble, or more related to the innate dignity of the human person than that of willingly offering one’s self-sacrificing service to others.
