If you’re interested in history of the holiday, read “5 Facts to Know About Veterans Day,” from the U.S. Department of Defense. Veterans Day is designed to recognize all military service men and women, living or dead, currently serving or veterans.
Although Armistice Day was informally celebrated on Nov. 11 for many years after the end of World War I, the holiday was officially recognized in 1938.
