Veterans Day
Veterans Day gives Americans the opportunity to celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. veterans.Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans.
Veterans Day is always a day to remember because we are showing respect for those who served our country for our freedom from others.
