NOVEMBER HOLIDAYS IN THE UNITED STATES
Veterans' Day (November 11th, Monday)
Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is an official public holiday in United States, celebrated annually on November 11. The aim of is day is to honor military veterans, persons who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The aim is the same with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are observed in other countries that commemorate the anniversary of the end of 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, when the Armistice with Germany went into operation. After the request of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day's name was changes as Veterans Day in 1954.
Veterans Day is different from Memorial Day, another U.S. public holiday observed in May. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who died while in military service. Another military holiday, Armed Forces Day, also occurs in May, and honors those who are currently serving in the U.S. military.
Because it is a federal holiday, some American workers and many students have day off from work or school. When Veterans Day falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday may be designated as the holiday, whereas if it falls on a Sunday it is observed on the following Monday.
In the Veterans Day, non-essential federal government offices are closed. No mail is delivered and all federal workers are paid for the holiday.
Veterans Day is held to honor and thank all military personnel particularly living veterans who served the United States in all wars. The observations include the parades, church services and a period of silence lasting two minutes held at 11am. In many places, the American flag is hung at half-mast.
If you want to be part of the parades and the other observances in the Veterans’ Day, you may use your November 2024 calendar with holidays to remember the date before it comes.

Thanksgiving celebrations were intermittent until the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, when Thanksgiving became a federal holiday in 1863, during the American Civil War. Lincoln proclaimed that the last Thursday in November will be a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens," to be celebrated. President Franklin D. Roosevelt made a little the date change that the date fixed as the fourth Thursday in November. Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader fall–winter holiday season in the U.S.
The event that Americans call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. This feast lasted three days, and as the declaration of the attendee Edward Winslow, it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims.

Daylight Saving Time Ends (November, 3rd, Sunday)
Daylight saving time in the United States is the practice of setting the clock forward by one hour during the warmer part of the year, so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less.
The Uniform Time Act of 1966 established the system of uniform Daylight-Saving Time throughout the US and most areas of the United States observe daylight saving time.
In the U.S., daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, with the time changes taking place at 2:00 a.m. local time. With a mnemonic word play referring to seasons, clocks "spring forward, fall back"—that is, in springtime the clocks are moved forward from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. and in fall they are moved back from 2:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Daylight saving time lasts for a total of 34 weeks (238 days) every year, about 65% of the entire year.
