Veterans Days
Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that
honors people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, also known as veterans.
It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with
other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated
in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World
War I (major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of
the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into
effect). The United States also originally observed Armistice Day; it then
evolved into the current Veterans Day holiday in 1954.
