Veterans Day is a holiday in the United States that honors people who have served in the military. It is celebrated every year on November 11th. The date is important because World War I ended on November 11, 1918. At first, the holiday was called Armistice Day and focused on remembering the soldiers from that war. Later, the name changed to Veterans Day so the nation could honor all veterans from every branch of the military. Today, people show their thanks through parades, ceremonies, and flags.
