Historical Moment to Remember
... Armistice Day becomes Veterans Day ...

On this date, November 11th of 1954, Veterans Day replaced Armistice Day as our national holiday celebrated every November 11th.  Armistice Day commemorated the Germans signing the Armistice (truce) for the Allied forces on November 11th of 1918 thus ending World War I.  Then, Veterans Day was established to remember the sacrifices of all those who served in our military and not just those of World War I - which at the time many thought would be 'the war to end all wars.'​  Yet, as we continue to see today, with our Global War on Terrorism, the fight for freedom never ends.

... the "King of Pop" ...

On November 11th of 1991, Michael Jackson instructed MTV to call him the "King of Pop" during their broadcasts. It worked and he became known by this self-proclaimed nickname.
