Veteran's Day
Resources
"Veterans
Day is an
American holiday
honoring military
veterans. Both a
federal holiday and a
state holiday in all
states, it is celebrated on the same day as
Armistice Day or
Remembrance Day in
other parts of the world, falling on
November 11, the
anniversary of the signing of the
Armistice that ended
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 with the German signing of
the Armistice.)Veterans
Day is largely intended to thank veterans for their service, to
acknowledge that their contributions to
United States
national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all
those who served - not only those who died - have sacrificed and done
their duty." Source:
