Press release from the Urbandale Community School District:

November 4, 2021

Veterans Day, observed annually on the 11th day of November, is a time for honoring all men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. We are grateful for the service and sacrifice of all those who have served and their families.

School is in session on November 11. Please review our school calendars for upcoming holidays.

If you’re curious about the differences between Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and Armed Forces Day, here is a brief description of each:

• Veterans Day—A day to honor and give thanks to all men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces (observed November 11).
• Memorial Day—A day to remember and honor all men and women who died while in service of our country (observed the last Monday in May).
• Armed Forces Day—A day to honor and give thanks to all men and women who are currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces (observed the third Saturday in May)
