What is Veterans Day?
Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the US that commemorates the ending of World War I in 1918. The origins of this day can be traced back to November 11, 1918, when the armistice between the Allied nations and Germany took effect. Also called the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month," this day marked the end of World War I.
The holiday is observed with the purpose of the “celebration to honour America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good," according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
