Veterans Day




Veterans Day Honors Those Who Have Served


Veterans Day originated in the Armistice Day holiday commemorating theNovember 11, 1918, armistice at 11 a.m. (hence “the eleventh hour ofthe eleventh day of the eleventh month”), which suspended active hostilities and effectively ended the First World War.


Unlike several other U.S. holidays now celebrated on Mondays to create long holiday weekends, Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11. This preserves the historical significance of the date and helps focus attention on the holiday’s important purpose:

to honorAmerica's veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
