What's Open and Closed on Veterans Day?

Veterans Day is Sunday, but some local businesses and organizations may be closed Monday.

Veterans Day, Nov. 11, falls on a Sunday this year. That means some city offices, services and local businesses will be closed Sunday, while others will be closed Monday. Veteran Day "originated as 'Armistice Day' on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I, according to the U.S. Census website.

Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars."
