Veteran's Day is now always observed on November 11, regardless of the day of the week. Congress changed the date of the holiday to the fourth Monday in October in 1968, but the date was changed back to November 11 in 1978. Congress originally declared November 11 a federal holiday in 1938, and the name of the holiday was changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954.
