Veterans honored for service by businesses

Veterans Day is a national holiday to observe all US veterans. Originally known as Armistice Day, Veterans Day was first celebrated in America on Nov. 11, 1919, to honor the men and women who served in the military during war and peacetime. 

It's celebrated at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. There are about 21 million living Veterans in the U.S.
