Homonym: November 11 (Remembrance)
November 11 is recognized as Veterans Day in the United States, a federal holiday dedicated to honoring military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. It was originally established as Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I on November 11, 1918, when fighting ceased on the Western Front.
In many countries, November 11 is also observed as Remembrance Day, a day to remember those who lost their lives in military service. People often participate in ceremonies, wear red poppies, and observe moments of silence to pay tribute to the sacrifices made by service members.
