The concept of honoring those who served in the military started with President Woodrow Wilson on November 11, 1919 following the one year anniversary of the armistice between the Allies and Germany.
On June 4, 1926, the U.S. Congress adopted a resolution to celebrate Armistice Day as a legal holiday. In 1945, the holiday was expanded to celebrate all veterans. Then in 1954, Congress replaced "Armistice" with "Veterans."

Miami Vice, the popular TV show, had a significant influence in music and fashion. Sinéad O'Connor, Kate Bush, Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, Tina Turner, Power Station, and Willy Nelson contributed their music to the show.
