Veterans Day is an annual holiday honoring American military veterans. It is observed on November 11 every year, but if it falls on a weekend the closest weekday is used for holiday leave.Veteran's Day is on:
November 11th
It is celebrated on November 11th because the armistice to end 'World War I' was signed at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, 1918. Originally this day was known as 'Armistice Day' but was changed by Congress in 1954 to 'Veterans Day'.
