The focus is on living veterans, as opposed to Memorial Day, which is a day to remember those who gave their lives for our country. In the United States, Veterans Day is a holiday to thank veterans for their services. Veterans Day (or Armistice Day) was first celebrated on the first anniversary of the end of World War I, which makes 2019 the 100th anniversary of this holiday.
The ending of WWI was formalized on June 28, 1919, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The Great War ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. It was first celebrated as Armistice Day on November 11, 1919, a year after the armistice agreement was made between Germany and Allied forces to cease fighting during World War I. In the United States, we celebrate Veterans Day on November 11th every year. Published: November 2019 14 Poems About Veterans For Veterans Day
