A public holiday across United States: most employees have the day off.
In 2024 it falls on a Monday, a working day.
The date changes from year to year.
Saturday and Sunday · A public holiday does not always close every business. Essential services, shops and some industries keep working, and pay rules differ by country and contract.
Veterans Day honours all who have served in the United States armed forces, living or dead, and is particularly an occasion to thank living veterans. It is distinct from Memorial Day, which honours those who died in service. The main national ceremony takes place at Arlington National Cemetery, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, at 11 a.m., and parades and local ceremonies are held in many towns. The date, 11 November, is the anniversary of the armistice that ended the fighting of the First World War in 1918.
Many restaurants and retailers offer free meals or discounts to veterans and serving military personnel, and schools often hold assemblies with veteran visitors. The same date is marked in other countries: in the United Kingdom, Canada and other Commonwealth countries it is Remembrance Day, observed with poppies and a two-minute silence, while France and Belgium keep 11 November as Armistice Day with a public holiday.
