Veterans Day is a U.S. federal holiday honoring military veterans and recognizing their service to the country. It is observed on November 11 every year, regardless of the day of the week. The date marks the end of World War I, when the armistice between the Allied powers and Germany took effect on November 11, 1918. Originally known as Armistice Day, the observance was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor American veterans of all wars and periods of military service.
On this day, Americans recognize veterans of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard and Space Force, as well as people who have previously served in the armed forces. The occasion focuses on appreciation for their service, dedication and contribution to the country.
Appropriate wishes for a Veterans Day greeting card include:
- good health and well-being;
- respect and recognition for their service;
- peace, confidence and new opportunities;
- happiness and support from family and friends.
A Veterans Day greeting card is a thoughtful way to thank an American veteran and recognize their years of service. Choose a suitable card, download it or send it online to a veteran, family member, friend or acquaintance.
