Veterans Day
2026-11-11
Why mark Veterans Day with a countdown?
Veterans Day on November 11 honors all who have served in the US armed forces. It also aligns with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day observed across the UK, Canada, Australia, and much of Europe - All marking the moment fighting ended on the Western Front at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. A countdown to this date is a quiet way to remember that moment and what it represents.
