    While Veterans Day is a single national holiday, many communities, schools, and organizations observe Veterans Month with extended events, programs, and reflections.

    πŸŽ–️ What It Means
    A month-long tribute to living U.S. military veterans, distinct from Memorial Day, which honors the fallen.

    A time to educate, appreciate, and engage with veterans in meaningful ways.
