Veterans Day is November 11. Veterans Day is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I to honor US veterans and victims of all wars. The holiday started in 1919 when President Wilson proclaimed November 11 to be Armistice Day.  All federal offices and many schools and businesses are closed in observance of the holiday.

Reflection: It’s good that we have this holiday because we can give thanks all the veterans and the men and women who still severing.
