Hi, folks! I was just curious and maybe a bit vague here but are all branches of the U.S. military honored on Veterans Day, or just specific ones?
Veterans Day is a federal holiday celebrated annually on November 11th to honor all persons who have served in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. So yes, all branches of the military are honored on Veterans Day, without exception.
To clarify, those branches include the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and most recently, the Space Force, which was established as the sixth military branch in 2019. It's a day to show gratitude to all veterans for their service, sacrifice, and commitment to our country's freedom and security.
