Memorial Day and Veterans Day are often confused with one another and for good reason:  Both holidays honor soldiers who have gone to war. Memorial Day, however, was strictly an American holiday established to honor those who died in the Civil War, whereas Veterans Day was meant to honor war veterans in the United States and Europe, both the living and the dead. Memorial Day began in the 1860s and was initially called Dedication Day. The first state to officially honor May 30^th as Memorial Day was New York in 1873. The rest of the eastern states followed New York's lead, while the southern states chose several different days for honoring their Civil War dead. Veterans Day, in contrast, has more recent roots. Meant to celebrate the end of World War I, it was initially called Armistice Day in honor of the armistice, or truce, signed on November 11, 1918. After World War II came to an end, the holiday honored all veterans of wars who made sacrifices for their country. In 1954, President Dwight D.Eisenhower changed the name of Armistice Day, in the U.S.at least, to Veterans Day.
