To recall the services given by the military soldiers, Veterans Day is being celebrated in the USA every year on November 11. It is also known as Armistice Day. It is a federal holiday.
The day was first celebrated on November 11, 1919, to pay tribute to the soldiers who took part in World War I, right after one year of ending of World War I. However, it was declared as a holiday legally in 1938.
It is a day to admire the bravery of the military veterans and pay them a tribute in an honorable way. On this day, the whole nation reminds the extraordinary acts by the soldiers, because of which we are free.
