About Veterans Day

Veterans Day, on November 11 each year, honors everyone who has served in the US armed forces. It falls on the anniversary of the 1918 Armistice, the same day as Remembrance Day in New Zealand, Australia and the UK, which is why the red poppy pages fit here too.

The pages are calm and thankful: flags, stars, a medal, poppies and cards, with no weapons or battle scenes. For poppies and remembrance pages, see the Remembrance Day colouring pages.
