VETERANS
DAY




Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring
military veterans. A federal holiday, it is usually
observed on November 11. However, if it occurs on a
Sunday then the following Monday is designated for
holiday leave, and if it occurs Saturday then either
Saturday or Friday may be so designated. It is also
celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in
other parts of the world, falling on November 11,
the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that
ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I
were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day
of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of
the Armistice.)

The holiday is commonly printed as Veteran's Day or
Veterans' Day in calendars and advertisements. While
these spellings are grammatically acceptable, the
United States government has declared that the
attributive (no apostrophe) rather than the possessive
case is the official spelling.

VETERANS
HEALTH
ADMINISTRATION




The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is
the component of the United States Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) led by the Under
Secretary of Veterans Affairs for Health that
implements the medical assistance program of
the VA through the administration and operation
of numerous VA outpatient clinics, hospitals,
medical centers and long-term healthcare
facilities (i.e., nursing homes).

The VHA division has more employees than all
other elements of the VA combined.

The VHA is distinct from the U.S. Department of
Defense Military Health System of which it is
not a part.
