"Today, we honor all our veterans who have defended and fought for our democracy," Biden wrote in a post on X. "They prove that we are a nation that can meet darkness with light, no matter how high the cost or how heavy the burden. May we all strive to be worthy of their sacrifices for us."
Veterans Day is a federal holiday meant to commemorate the service of U.S. military veterans who served in the armed forces. The day of remembrance was changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954.
