Veterans Day, originally referred to as Armistice Day, marked the end of World War I in 1918. The armistice that ceased the fighting was signed on the eleventh (11th) day of the eleventh (11th) month at 11:00 a.m. Armistice Day eventually evolved into Veterans Day which honors veterans of all wars.
