The subject of the inquiry is the proper noun, "Veterans Day." The core of the question revolves around the potential action of the verb "rename." There are no official, widespread legislative efforts at the federal level to rename Veterans Day. The name of the holiday is established by U.S. law (Title 5, Section 6103 of the United States Code) and remains unchanged.
Confusion on this topic often arises from several sources. The most significant is the holiday's own history; it was originally established as "Armistice Day" in 1938 to honor veterans of World War I. In 1954, following World War II and the Korean War, Congress amended the legislation, changing the name from "Armistice" to "Veterans" to officially honor American veterans of all wars. This historical renaming is a factual event from the past, not a current proposal. Further confusion can occur between Veterans Day, which honors all individuals who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, and Memorial Day, a separate holiday designated to honor military personnel who have died in the line of duty.
In conclusion, while the name of the holiday was changed historically to broaden its scope, there is no active or pending initiative to rename Veterans Day again. The current name is fixed by law and specifically intended to be an inclusive tribute to all former members of the military. Any discussions regarding a name change are typically isolated, informal, or based on a misunderstanding of the holiday's history and purpose.
