What is Veterans Day?

A holiday to honor people who have served in the U.S. military.

  1. Honors workers and labor unions
  2. Honors people who served in the military ✔
  3. Celebrates the end of the Civil War

Why: Veterans Day honors everyone who has served in the U.S. military. Labor Day honors workers, and neither holiday marks the end of the Civil War.

Huh, didn't know that: Veterans Day is November 11 and began as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I fighting in 1918.

The dad joke
Why do veterans make great friends? They always have your back.
