Why do we celebrate Veterans Day?

It takes a special kind of courage and strength to serve in the military.
Don't you think we should honor the people who risked everything for you to have the day off?

Who established it?

In 1954, President Eisenhower signed a bill establishing November 11th as Veterans Day.
