Veterans Day is Tuesday, Nov. 11. The federal holiday is set aside each year to recognize and honor U.S. veterans who've served their country. The annual commemoration is often marked with parades, services and other tributes to thank service members for their many contributions. Originally established in 1919, Veterans Day was initially known as “Armistice Day,” and was set aside to mark the end of World War I, also known as the "Great War." However, in 1954, the designation changed to include all U.S. service members and now the day is known as Veterans Day and the November holiday recognized annually on Nov. 11.
