    Veteran’s Day is in November to commemorate the armistice at the end of WWI. It should not be changed

      We could always move Veteran’s Day to September but then establish Armistice Day on 11 November, which is what the rest of the world calls that day. Net result would be one more federal holiday (just with some renaming).

      Or, we could mess things up by leaving Labor Day and Veteran’s Day alone and adding “Armistice Day” in May. :)

      I’d like to move it just because it’s the first argument out of people’s mouths against making election day a national holiday (as it should be).
