How the date works
Veterans Day is fixed on November 11, the anniversary of the armistice that ended fighting in World War I in 1918. Only the weekday changes from year to year.
When November 11 falls on a Saturday, federal employees get the Friday before off, and when it falls on a Sunday the holiday is observed on the Monday after. The date of Veterans Day itself does not move.
Veterans Day honours all who served in the US armed forces. Memorial Day, in May, honours those who died in service.
Banks, schools, post offices and businesses differ in what they close. Check with the place you plan to visit.
