Also in the article: “...Veterans Day, which falls on Nov. 12 this year...”

Dear ColumDumbass,

Veterans’ Day is Armistice Day, renamed to celebrate all Veterans.

Armistice Day celebrates the Armistice that ended WWI. It happened “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” in 1918.

It does NOT fall on November 12, never has, never will.

It still occurs on November 11th, the federal government also recognizes a weekday as paid holiday for government workers. THAT SHOULD STOP!
