Updates. This section updates for Veterans's Day, November 11, 2014, using data from 2014 ACS, reflecting 2013 characteristics
for 113th Congressional Districts.
Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the
first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance,
and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in
1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars.
The day honors living military veterans with parades and speeches across the nation. A national ceremony
takes place at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
