Veteran's Day
Veteran's Day was observed on November 11 from 1919 through 1970. Public law 90-363, the "Monday Holiday Law," provided that, beginning in 1971, Veteran's Day would be observed on "the fourth Monday in October." This movable observance date, which separated Veteran's Day Day from the November 11 anniversary of World War I Armistice, proved unpopular. State after state moved its observance back to the traditional November 11 date, and finally Public Law 94-97 of September 18, 1975, required that, effective January 1, 1978, the observance of Veteran's Day revert to November 11.
As Armistice Day this is a holiday in Belguim, France and other European countries. "At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" fighting ceased in World War I.
