About Veterans Day
Veterans Day is a United States holiday observed each year on Nov. 11. It began as the commemoration of Armistice Day in 1919, marking the end of World War I.
Renamed in 1954, it has continued to be a national day of celebration to honor America's veterans for their "patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good."
