About Veterans Day, and who gets the day off.
Veterans Day honors everyone who has served in the US armed forces. It began as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I fighting on November 11, 1918, and was renamed in 1954.
Unlike most federal holidays it stays on November 11 whatever the weekday. When that's a weekend, the federal holiday moves to the nearest weekday.
About one in ten private-sector workers with paid holidays gets Veterans Day off (11%, BLS 2018), though federal offices, banks and post offices close.
