when was veterans day

Veterans Day is observed in the United States on November 11 each year. It honors all military veterans and has its origins in Armistice Day, which marked the end of World War I. The day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 and is a federal holiday, meaning many government offices close and there are various public ceremonies and observances nationwide.
