The following is information about Veterans Day:

1938, the U.S congress passed a bill to designate 1 65438+1October1day as a national holiday in order to promote world peace on this day. 1954, the United States amended the bill and renamed Armistice Day Veterans' Day to commemorate the soldiers who died in previous wars and bless the surviving veterans.

Veterans Day is a day to commemorate the contributions made by American veterans to the United States. There are ten major wars in American history, namely, the War of Independence, the Civil War, the Spanish War, the Mexican War, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the First and Second Iraq Wars. In all previous wars, except the American Civil War, World War II was the deadliest in the United States, with 400,000 American soldiers killed.

In recent years, Westerners have gradually turned Veterans Day into a festival to pray for peace. On this day, people presented bunches of flowers and wreaths in front of the tomb of Yingling to pay tribute to their dead comrades.
