When did it switch from Armistice Day?
1954? Is when they started using Veterans day, but that is obviously because of World War II and the WWI no longer being "The war to end all wars."

I am sure employers would rather not give their people another payed holiday. So, many would probably argue if you want to add a new holiday, another needs to be removed.
I picked to merge Veterans and Memorial day because.. lets be honest, on most memorial day observances, we already honor current veterans.
If voting is important, then its day off should be on its own merit. Not some sort of tradeoff. Its not happening anytime soon, the people with power like this method.
