Is the mall crowded on Veterans Day?
I think that it depends on the weather outside, and what day of the week Veteran's Day falls on. I was at the mall on Veteran's Day. It was a nice, warm Sunday afternoon, and there wasn't many people. Although if Veteran's Day falls on a rainy Saturday, it's likely to be crowded. If it falls on a sunny Wednesday, it will probably be less crowded. It varies just like any day at the mall does. Hope this helped!
