November 11th is a day that we pay our respects to all of those who have served in our US military.
This was first a holiday on every November 11th to pay respect to all of those who died for our country and was called Armistice Day. It is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice at the end of WWI. In 1954, the name of the holiday was changed to Veterans Day to honor all veterans in all of the wars.
