Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, honors all U.S. veterans for their dedication and service, celebrating their contributions to the nation’s defense.
Unlike Memorial Day which honors fallen soldiers, Veterans Day recognizes all living veterans, providing a chance to express gratitude for their sacrifices.
The tradition of wearing red poppies, originating from the poem 'In Flanders Fields,' symbolizes remembrance and is connected to veterans service organizations.
Each year, community events including parades and ceremonies at places like Arlington National Cemetery, celebrate and acknowledge the sacrifices made by veterans.
