In the US , it was in 1954 that armistice day became Veteran’s Day.

Interesting question, as to whether we have lost something, in changing it to Veterans Day. November 11th no longer specifically signifies the commemoration of the end of the first World War. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Happy Armistice Day! This bestselling hit, from the movie "Chasing Rainbows," was written to celebrate Armistice Day.
