Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that honors people
who have served in the U.S.
Armed Forces, also known as veterans.
It is a federal holiday that is observed on
November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world
and also mark the anniversary of the end of 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, when the Armistice with
Germany went into effect).
The United States also originally
observed Armistice Day; it then evolved into the current Veterans Day holiday
in 1954.
