Today is Veterans Day, the federal holiday on which America celebrates those who served honorably in the military. The day was first recognized as Armistice Day in 1919 to celebrate the end of World War IÂ and became Veterans Day in 1954.
Like most celebrations in 2020, Veterans Day will look different due to COVID-19. Many commemorations are canceled or will be held virtually, and in-person events will be socially distant or car-based
