Veterans Day
Wednesday, November 11, 2026
Veterans Day, observed on November 11th, honors military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Originally called Armistice Day to mark the end of World War I, the holiday now recognizes all U.S. veterans, acknowledging their sacrifices and contributions to the country. Veterans Day is marked by ceremonies, parades, and moments of remembrance. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors fallen soldiers, Veterans Day celebrates all who have served. Government offices, schools, and businesses may observe the day with closures or special events.
