View Date:2025-01-19 12:47:57
Veterans Day is on Monday, and while most restaurants, grocery stores and retail stores will be open on the day, banks and post offices will not.
The celebration of Veterans Day, a federal holiday, dates back to Nov. 11, 1918, when "temporary cessation of hostilities," or an armistice, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
"For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of 'the war to end all wars,'" according to the government agency's website. Veterans Day continues to be observed on Nov. 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls.
The purpose of the day is to be a "celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good," the Department of Veterans Affairs says on its website.
Here's what to know about banks, post offices and shipping services, and whether or not they'll be open on Veterans Day.
