BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Veteran’s Day is observed each year on Nov. 11 to honor all United States military veterans who have served our nation in times of war and peace. The observance originated as Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918, and later expanded to recognize the service and sacrifice of veterans from every era of American history.
Today, Veteran’s Day stands as a reminder of the courage, dedication, and continued contributions of those who have worn the uniform, and it provides an opportunity for communities to express gratitude and respect for the freedoms and security made possible by their service.
