Veterans Day, observed on November 11 each year in the United States, honors military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Initially established as Armistice Day, this observance commemorated the cessation of hostilities in World War I, with the armistice with Germany becoming effective on November 11, 1918, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. In 1954, it was renamed Veterans Day to honor all American veterans, extending beyond those who served solely in World War I.
Veterans Day is notably distinct from Memorial Day; whereas Memorial Day is dedicated to honoring those who have perished in military service, Veterans Day acknowledges the contributions of all U.S. military veterans, both living and deceased. This day is customarily observed with parades, ceremonies, moments of silence, and tributes at national monuments and veteran cemeteries.
For numerous individuals, this occasion provides an opportunity to contemplate the service and sacrifices made by veterans and to convey gratitude for their steadfast dedication.
Here are some heartfelt Veterans Day messages you can send to honor and appreciate the veterans in your life:
