Educational worksheet for learning about Veterans Day, designed for students to answer questions about veterans, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, and the history of the holiday.

- A veteran is a person who has served in the armed forces, especially one who has seen active service during a war or conflict.
- The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers is located at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. On Veterans Day, it is honored with a wreath-laying ceremony by the President of the United States and other dignitaries, and a special guard change ceremony is performed.
- Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11th each year to honor all American veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, both living and deceased. The important historical event that took place on November 11, 1918, was the armistice that ended World War I.
- Memorial Day honors military personnel who died while serving, whereas Veterans Day honors all who have served in the U.S. military, including those still living.
- In 1971, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved several federal holidays, including Veterans Day, to Mondays to create three-day weekends for workers. This caused confusion because Veterans Day is tied to the anniversary of the end of World War I (November 11). Due to public outcry, Congress restored Veterans Day to its original fixed date of November 11 in 1978.
