Thanks Guys!

In the UK it's known as Armistice Day. The date was chosen as the
anniversary of the Armistice that ended the fighting on the Western Front in
WW1.

It used to be Armistice Day here too when I was growing up. But in 1954, it was
changed to Veterans Day in order to accommodate the millions of WWII veterans
and those of future wars who would have gotten no recognition from Armistice
Day.
