The subject of the query, "Veterans Day," is a proper noun designating a specific U.S. federal holiday. In 2025, Veterans Day will be observed on its fixed date, November 11, which falls on a Tuesday.
The date of Veterans Day is legally established and historically significant, remaining constant each year. It commemorates the formal end of hostilities in World War I, which occurred on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Initially known as Armistice Day, the U.S. Congress amended the holiday in 1954 to honor American veterans of all wars, officially renaming it Veterans Day.
As a date-specific holiday, its observance is not adjusted to create a long weekend, unlike holidays such as Memorial Day. Consequently, federal and many state government offices, as well as some educational institutions and businesses, will observe the holiday on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. This fixed observance underscores the historical importance of the armistice it commemorates.
