Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938.

Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans, but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
