About Veterans Day 2026
Veterans Day is a federal holiday observed annually on November 11th to honor military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The date marks the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice of Compiegne, which ended hostilities on the Western Front of World War I at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.
Originally established as Armistice Day by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919, Congress amended the holiday in 1954 to honor American veterans of all wars. Traditions include the wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery and community parades nationwide.
In 2026, Veterans Day falls on a Wednesday. As a federal holiday, it provides an opportunity to reflect on military service and support veteran organizations.
