November 11 is Veterans Day, a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.
Veterans Day is different from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May: Veterans Day commemorates the service of all U.S. veterans, while Memorial Day specifically honors those who have died while in military service.
A Congressional Act approved May 13, 1938, made November 11 a legal holiday.
To all that have served, THANK YOU!
