The House of Representatives would formally honor the service and sacrifice of America's military veterans in observance of Veterans Day 2025. The resolution traces the holiday's roots to Armistice Day in 1919, marking the end of World War I, and its renaming to Veterans Day in 1954 after Congress recognized veterans of World War II and the Korean War as well. It notes that more than 41 million Americans have served in the military since the country's founding, with roughly 15.8 million living veterans as of 2023. The resolution calls on the public to observe Veterans Day and recognizes the sacrifices veterans' families make alongside them. Like similar veterans' resolutions, it creates no new programs or funding — it is a formal statement of gratitude.
