Veterans Day is the anniversary of the ending of World War I.

Explanation:

Veterans Day is a U. S. national holiday celebrated annually on November 11th.

On November 11, 1918, the First World War ended with the signing of the Compiegne Armistice. Since 1919, a number of US states have celebrated a ceasefire. In 1926, the Congress passed a resolution calling on all US states to mark this date as a tribute to World War I veterans. On June 1, 1954, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day, and from that moment it was dedicated to veterans of all American wars.

Veterans Day is dedicated to all living combatants; commemoration of those who died in wars takes place on Memorial Day. The holiday is usually celebrated with parades and meetings of veterans.
