Veterans Day is a federal holiday that falls on November 11 each year. It has fallen on a Monday in 2024. Government offices, schools, and the United States Postal Service (USPS) remain closed today. However, retail chains, restaurants, public parks, and other services remain open and offer special or additional discounts to web veterans on Veterans Day and on all days of the year.
Veterans Day was celebrated to honor the signing of an armistice that ended hostilities on November 11, 1918, marking the end of World War I. Years later, in 1954, Congress renamed it Veterans Day to honor all the service men and women who laid down their lives or faced injuries in the following wars.
The Veterans Day National Ceremony is held at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. It begins with a wreath laid on the Tomb of the Unknowns. The ceremony also includes a parade of colors and remarks from dignitaries.
New York City honors veterans with a parade that begins at Madison Square Park. It honors veterans from all services. About 20,000 marchers will be on Fifth Avenue this afternoon. Other states also hold parades on Veterans Day.
Many parks across the nation remain open on Veterans Day. They offer free visits to veterans and their family members on the day, and some offer free visits year-round after veterans register their veteran IDs.
Many businesses also honor veterans by offering them deep discounts on Veterans Day. These special deals show their gratitude to the men and women who laid down their lives for the nation.
Veterans include those currently serving or serving in the United States Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard.
