Honoring Veterans: A Look At The Holiday's History And 2025 Observances
1 week ago
Veterans Day began more than a century ago as a celebration marking the end of World War One. In 1938, Congress made November 11th an official federal holiday. Over time, the day evolved to honor all U.S. veterans — both those who have served in the past and those currently in uniform.
This year, the federal shutdown has canceled many traditional Veterans Day events. Still, Americans can take advantage of holiday promotions at major retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, and Target.
While Veterans Day is a federal holiday, the stock market remains open today. However, the bond market and most banks are closed.
And as always, if you see a veteran, take a moment to thank them for their service.
