PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Veterans Day 2021 may still be a bit different as the country continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
Every year, the federal government and businesses around the country observe Veterans Day on Nov. 11 to honor those who have served in the U.S. military.
The holiday was first created to honor veterans of World War I, but then in 1954, the original legislation was amended to change the holiday's name to Veterans Day, to honor American veterans of all wars.
