National Veterans Day Poster Contest Winner - 2021 Today Americans honor all military veterans by noting National Veterans Day, a federal holiday.
The origins of Veterans Day come from the end of World War I. On Nov. 11, 1918, an armistice between the U.S.-led Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. It was then that Nov. 11 was officially recognized as the date of the holiday.
The day is traditionally marked by a Presidential ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier along with local parades and ceremonies.
It's a day to say "thank you" to all veterans who served our country.
