Technically, yes, but some will say that holidays like Easter, which is a religious holiday, or April Fools Day which is a popular holiday are indeed national holidays because so many in the nation see them as holidays, even though they are not federal holidays.

Is veterans a national holiday?
Veterans Day is not a national holiday. It is however, a federal and state holiday in the United States. The Federal government and it's agencies shut down. Most businesses, other than banks, do not celebrate by shutting down. While it is recognized as a national holiday, it really isn't a day off for most veterans. There is no such thing as National Holiday in the United States, even on the 4th of July an employer can make you go to work. It is standard practice to allow workers days off for certain holidays ie. Thanksgiving, Christmas etc. but it is not mandatory. A national Holiday would make a mandatory day off for employees (except some in service jobs).
