When is Veterans Day?
Veterans Day is fixed on November 11, the anniversary of the 1918 armistice that ended World War I.
Veterans Day honours all who have served in the US armed forces, living and deceased.
It coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, observed in many countries on the same date.
Veterans Day history and observance
Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, marking the armistice that ended World War I fighting at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. In 1954 the United States renamed it Veterans Day to honour all who have served in the armed forces.
Observances include parades, ceremonies, and a moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. Unlike many federal holidays, its date is fixed to November 11 rather than moved to a Monday.
