Veterans Day Countdown

Veterans Day is observed on November 11 each year in the United States and honours all US military veterans — both living and deceased — who have served in the armed forces. It corresponds to Armistice Day and Remembrance Day observed in the UK, Canada, and Australia on the same date, marking the end of World War I hostilities at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. The countdown tracks the exact days remaining until November 11 in your local time.

Veterans Day falls shortly before Thanksgiving, making November one of the most event-dense months in the US calendar. Community ceremonies, parades, and veteran support events all require advance planning. Many retailers offer veterans discounts and need to prepare promotional campaigns in advance.
