Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day, and it commemorated the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. Fighting stopped at 11 a.m., the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

Veterans Day honors all those living and dead who served with the U.S. armed forces. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who have died in wartime, Veterans Day honors all those who have served, in times of peace as well as war.
