Which holiday is specifically dedicated to all U.S. military veterans?

Veterans Day is specifically dedicated to honoring all U.S. military veterans. Originally established as Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I, the holiday was later renamed Veterans Day to recognize the service of all U.S. military veterans, not just those who fought in World War I. On this day, various ceremonies and events are held across the country to show appreciation for the sacrifices and contributions of veterans, making it a significant occasion for acknowledging their commitment to the nation.

Memorial Day, while it also honors military personnel, specifically commemorates those who died while serving in the military. Labor Day recognizes the contributions of workers, and Columbus Day celebrates Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas, which does not relate to military service. Therefore, Veterans Day stands out as the holiday that specifically honors all veterans for their service.
