<holidayfyi-glossary slug="veterans-day-term"></holidayfyi-glossary>A United States federal holiday observed annually on 11 November, honouring all American military veterans — those who served in peacetime as well as wartime — distinguished from Memorial Day, which specifically commemorates those who died in service. Like Remembrance Day in Commonwealth nations, Veterans Day marks the anniversary of the 1918 armistice, with observances including parades, flag ceremonies, and presidential statements expressing national gratitude.
