Department of Veterans Affairs. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), established as an independent agency under the President by Executive Order 5398 of July 21, 1930, was elevated to Cabinet level on March 15, 1989 (Public Law 100-527).
On the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice went into effect. Armistice Day was celebrated every year thereafter in the United States until 1954, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower changed it to Veterans Day to encompass the honoring of veterans of all American wars. It was renamed in 1989 as the Department of Veterans Affairs, continuing to be known as the VA.
