Veteran’s Day is dedicated to honor all men and women, both living and deceased, who have served in the nation’s armed forces.
It is a legal federal holiday in the United States. Veteran’s Day is always celebrated on November 11th, regardless of the day of the week on which it falls.
In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11th as Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I, which took place at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month. Congress changed the name to Veteran’s Day in 1954.
