Although, World War I did not officially end until the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28th, 1919; fighting between the Allied nations and Germany ceased seven months earlier at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, which is why we now celebrate Veterans Day on November 11th. However, before 1954 Veterans Day was known and Celebrated as “_______ Day”. Name this day.
