The armistice being celebrated was the one signed at Compi\u00e8gne, France, which ended the first World War. It went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, and has been the occasion for global commemorations ever since. However, by 1954 it was pretty evident that \u201cthe war to end all wars\u201d had not actually done so, and Armistice Day was officially expanded to include honoring those who served in all wars. That\u2019s when this holiday, which pays tribute so many who have unselfishly served their country, was also given the new name of Veterans Day\u2014plural, but not possessive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/product\/bomb-keychain-bottle-opener?source=blog\" target=\"_blank\">Bomb Keychain &#038; Bottle Opener, $19<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The punctuation was easier back when it was called Armistice Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":28030,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1208],"tags":[813],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28017"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28017\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
