Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States that honors all military veterans who served in the armed forces.

Veterans Day began in 1919 as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I and honoring its casualties.

In 1921, Congress approved the burial of an unknown soldier from World War I at Arlington National Cemetery. This became a national symbol of gratitude and respect for all who served in the military. Other countries also adopted similar ceremonies and traditions.

In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill that changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day, to honor veterans of all wars, not just World War I.

Congress moved Veterans Day to October in 1968, but many opposed it for losing the historical meaning of November 11.

President Ford restored Veterans Day to November 11 in 1975. He valued the day’s historical and patriotic significance and the public’s wish to honor veterans.

Today, Veterans Day is a time to celebrate the service and sacrifice of millions of men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States. It is also a time to educate the public about the veterans’ contributions and challenges, and to support them in their communities.
