Today is Veterans Day, which began as Armistice Day, proclaimed by President Woodrow Wilson Nov. 11, 1919.In 1938, Armistice Day became a legal holiday and shortly after the name was changed to Veterans Day. Although the date was moved over the years, Nov. 11 became holiday's official date in 1978. Regardless of the date, the holiday remains a time to thank veterans for their service and contributions to America and its ideals.
