an alien who studied human behavior in Boulder, Colorado,

Veterans Day was originally known as Armistice Day. On
November 11, 1919, President Woodrow Wilson issued a
message to his countrymen on the first Armistice Day, in
which he expressed what he felt the day meant to all
Americans. Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day
in 1954.
Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public
holiday in May: Veterans Day commemorates the service
of all U.S. veterans, while Memorial Day specifically honors
those who have died while in military service.
Thomas Woodrow Wilson
(December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924)
At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the
Great War ended. At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany, bereft of
manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion,
signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car
outside Compiégne, France (above).
The First World War left nine million soldiers dead and 21
million wounded, with Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary,
France and Great Britain each losing nearly a million or
more lives. In addition, at least five million civilians died
from disease, starvation or exposure.
