Upcoming Veterans Day dates
Why Veterans Day is on November 11
Veterans Day is November 11, marking the armistice that ended the fighting of the First World War at 11am on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. The US renamed Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954 to honour all who have served. The same date is Remembrance Day in the UK, Canada and Australia, where the poppy and two minutes of silence at 11am are the central observances.
Planning ahead
Unlike most US federal holidays it was deliberately kept on its calendar date rather than moved to a Monday, so it can land midweek. Federal offices, banks and post are closed; most retail is not.
