Michigan's WW1 Centennial Educational Series Eugene I. Van Antwerp & Veterans Day

Eugene I. Van Antwerp provided critical leadership as National Commander of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars to push through legislation to make Armistice Day, November 11th, a National Holiday. After World War 2 and Korea, Congress would change the name to Veterans Day to honor all those who served in the Military instead of just the World War 1 Veterans.
