Perhaps he thought it was unlikely, since the holiday was changed to 
"Veterans Day" in the US after World War II.

I do realize that this doesn't preclude some number of stores from 
insisting on the old name, but I expect Sean's point was that it hasn't 
been officially called Armistice Day for about 60 years.
