About Veterans Day
Veterans Day on November 11 thanks everyone who has served in the United States armed forces. It began as Armistice Day, marking the end of fighting in World War I at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918.
The name changed to Veterans Day in 1954. Unlike most federal holidays it stays on November 11 whatever the weekday, although the federal day off shifts to Friday or Monday when the date falls on a weekend. Federal offices and banks close, while many schools and businesses remain open.
How the Date Is Set
Veterans Day is held on November 11 every year. The date stays the same every year, while the weekday moves forward by one day, or by two after a leap day.
