What Is Veterans Day?
Veterans Day is a holiday dedicated to thanking those who have served or are currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
The holiday, originally called Armistice Day, was started after the armistice that ended World War I was signed on November 11, 1918. It was recognized as a federal holiday in 1938. In 1954, it was officially renamed Veterans Day, which broadened it to a holiday that honors all veterans.
