After World War II and the Korean War, the United States recognized the need to honor veterans of all wars.
In 1954, Congress amended the 1938 Act, replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first Veterans Day proclamation on Oct. 8, 1954, officially establishing Nov. 11 as the holiday to honor all veterans.
