This Veteran's Day is a day to show appreciation for those who have worn the nation's military uniforms.
Originally Armistice Day, this date was selected to observe the eleventh day of the eleventh month when World War I hostilities came to an end.
Changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954, it's the day we say thanks to those who've served in the armed forces.
