Veterans Day is the fixed civil date of November 11, the 1918 armistice anniversary, and a US federal holiday. Unlike Memorial Day, it does not float to a Monday. This clock aims at your local November 11, then at the next November 11 after that date finishes. 2026 is a Wednesday; 2027 is a Thursday. When the 11th is a weekend, federal offices may observe Friday or Monday, but wreath ceremonies still gather on the 11th — and so does this countdown.

FAQ

When is Veterans Day?
November 11 every year. In 2026 that is a Wednesday; in 2027 it is a Thursday. After the local date ends, we roll to next November 11. Weekend years are when payroll calendars diverge.
How is it different from Memorial Day?
Veterans Day honors all who served. Memorial Day specifically honors those who died in service. Memorial Day is the last Monday of May; Veterans Day is November 11. They are not interchangeable long weekends.
Is it the same as Armistice / Remembrance Day?
The November 11 date is shared with Remembrance Day and Armistice Day in other countries. Names, poppies, and two- minute silences differ. The US renamed Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954 to honor veterans of all wars.
Why might another site disagree?
An observed-Monday clock differs from November 11 when the 11th is Saturday or Sunday. A Memorial Day page is the wrong holiday. We use local November 11.
What time was the original armistice?
Fighting was set to stop at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month — 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918, French time. Unique to this page: the US civil holiday is the calendar date, not that 11:00 a.m. instant, which is why we do not ship a Paris-timezone silence clock. Ceremonies still like the eleventh hour; this countdown likes the 11th.
Should I count to a parade instead?
Use a custom time for a city's march. This page stays on November 11.
How should a workplace closing table use a weekend November 11?
Follow your employer's observed weekday for payroll, and keep this link on the 11th for the anniversary. Mixing those two jobs is how people accidentally honor veterans on a Monday that is only a substitute closing. If you need both, you need two URLs.
Why do some calendars still say Armistice Day?
That was the US name until 1954, and it remains the name in France and Belgium. A clock labeled Armistice Day on November 11 is the same civil date and a different civic frame. We use Veterans Day because that is the current US federal title.
