Veterans Day was originally Armistice Day. It is the day the peace treaty ending WWI went into effect, the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, 1918. It was renamed Veterans Day in 1954. It is a day set aside to remember all veterans. Memorial Day, in May remembers all those service men who passed away in war. National Armed Services Day, also in May, honors those currently serving.
November 10, 1775 is the birthday of the Marines. When Mark was in the Marines they had a yearly party, which included a formal dance. (Gleaned from Wikepedia)
