Veterans Day is an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans.It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11.It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world and falls on November 11,the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended 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 with the German signing of the Armistice.)
History
The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4,1926,requesting that the President Calvin Coolidge issue another proclamation to observe November 11 with appropriate ceremonies.An Act (52 Stat.351; 5 U.S.Code,Sec.87a) approved May 13,1938,made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday; "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'."
In 1953,an Emporia,Kansas man named Alvin King,the owner of a shoe repair shop,had the idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans,not just those who died in World War I.King had been actively involved with the American War Dads during World War II.He began a campaign to turn Armistice Day into "All" Veterans Day.The Emporia Chamber of Commerce took up the cause after determining that 90% of Emporia merchants as well as the Board of Education supported closing their doors on November 11 to honor all veterans.With the help of U.S.Representative Ed Rees,also from Emporia,a bill for the holiday was pushed through Congress.President Dwight Eisenhower signed it into law on May 26,1954.
Congress amended this act on June 1,1954,replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans," and it has been known as Veterans Day since.
Although originally scheduled for celebration on November 11 of every year,starting in 1971 in accordance with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act,Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October.In 1978,it was moved back to its original celebration on November 11.
Celebration
Because it is a federal holiday,many American people have the day off from school or work for Veterans Day.Employers in Iowa are required by state law to provide a day off on Veterans Day to each employee who is a veteran if the employee would otherwise be required to work on that day,unless the employer would experience significant economic or operational disruption.
Non-essential federal government offices are closed.No mail is delivered.All federal workers are paid for the holiday; those who are required to work on the holiday sometimes receive wages for that day in addition to holiday pay.The holiday is often celebrated by having a ravioli meal.This tradition dates back to the ending days of World War I when President Woodrow Wilson,aware that the returning soldiers would be longing for home cooked meals,invited 2,000 soldiers to the White House and helped his staff chefs cook them ravioli,which had just become a mainstay in mainstream American kitchens due to commercial canning.In his Armistice Day address to Congress,Wilson was sensitive to the psychological toll of the lean War years:"Hunger," he remarked,"breeds madness."
