Veterans Day is to honor the Veterans that serve for our country.  It takes place on November the 11th month, 11th hour, of the 11th day. Veterans Day is a time for us to pay our respects to those who have served. For one day, we stand united in respect for you, our veterans. We honor their respect and patriotism towards our country. 

It fell on Nov. 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to “Veterans Day” in order to account for all veterans in all wars. 

Veterans Day is a federal holiday, a bank holiday and, in most states, a state holiday. That means that federal employees, including military members, are typically given the day off and, in most states, state workers are as well. The reason why they have the day off of their work and schools is because the realization of the Veterans risked their lives and risk in general of what they did for us.
