Veterans Day is Monday, a federal holiday that has roots to events more than a century ago.
The holiday dates back to Nov. 11, 1918, which was the official end of World War I, when an armistice between the Allied nations and Germany started on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The purpose of the day is to be a "celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good," the Department of Veterans Affairs says on its website explaining the holiday.
Because Veterans Day is a federal holiday, some businesses and services may be closed in observance. Here's what to know about the stock market and whether or not it’ll be open on Veterans Day.
