November 11 was originally declared Armistace Day in commemoration of the end of WWI, sometime back in the 1920's. Eisenhower moved it to the 4th Monday in Oct and declared it Veteran's Day. There apparently were some problems with this day and in 1978 Congress moved it back to Nov 11. At least that's what I remember from the speech I heard Friday in the ceremony we had.
