VETERANS DAY is a federal holiday in the United Staes observed annually on Nov. 11, for honoring military veterans, that is, persons who have served in the United States Armed Forces (and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable). It is celebrated to 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.
Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all US military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who had died while in military service. Armed Forces Day, also in May, honors whose who are currently serving the in US military.
