Today is Veterans Day

Today, Wednesday, November 11, 2026, is Veterans Day. A time to recognize and thank the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Veterans Day is observed each year on November 11th, marking the anniversary of the end of World War One. The fighting ended with an armistice that took effect at 11 a.m. on November 11th, 1918. The holiday was originally known as Armistice Day before being renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who died while serving, Veterans Day recognizes all military veterans, living and deceased, who have worn the uniform and served their country.

Across the country, communities are holding ceremonies and events to honor veterans and recognize their service and sacrifices. It’s also an opportunity to thank the veterans in our families, workplaces and neighborhoods for their dedication and commitment to protecting our freedoms.

From KFIZ To all of America’s veterans, thank you for your service.
