Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
This year, Veterans Day takes place on Thursday, November 11. Please remember our Veterans on this day. Thank them for their service. To learn more about Veterans Day, including national observations, please visit department.va.gov/veterans-day.
