In the years following, the anniversary of this Armistice was recognized across the United States as a day of remembrance, becoming an official holiday in in 1938 known as Armistice Day, later changed to Veterans Day. Today, Veterans Day is a day to acknowledge those who have served in the United States military and is generally observed on either the following Monday or the proceeding Friday.
