On November 11, 1918, Armistice Day was declared to be “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace” However, in 1954 the U.S. Congress renamed Nov. 11 as Veterans Day and the annual dedication to world peace mutated into the glorification of war and hero worship of the military. Many veterans have heeded the words of Eisenhower and Butler and need your help to Reclaim Armistice Day.
