When was The Army Goes Rolling Along dedicated by the Secretary of the Army?

• A. Memorial Day, 30 May 1956
• B. Armistice Day, 11 November 1955
• C. Veterans Day, 11 November 1956
• D. Independence Day, 4 July 1957

Answer: (C)

This question tests knowing the dedication date of The Army Goes Rolling Along, the Army's official song. The dedication was on Veterans Day, 11 November 1956, performed by the Secretary of the Army. Veterans Day honors all veterans and is observed on November 11, the same date that Armistice Day originally fell on; the holiday was renamed in 1954, but the date stayed November 11. So the correct match is Veterans Day, 11 November 1956. The other options point to different holidays or years (Memorial Day in May, an Armistice Day date in 1955, or Independence Day in July), which do not coincide with the actual dedication.
