Veterans Day

Today is Veterans Day, commemorating Armistice Day at the end of World War I. Learn more about the history here.



There are 15.8 million veterans alive in the US today, a figure representing 6.1% of the adult US population. Veterans have served during wartime and in peacetime, with roughly one-third having served in the Vietnam War, one-quarter in the Gulf War, and 28% serving since 9/11. The percentage of veterans alive today who served in World War II is less than 0.2%. While the vast majority of veterans are US citizens, citizenship is not a prerequisite for enlistment; as of 2015, noncitizens made up less than 1% of veterans.



There are no known living veterans from World War I; the last known US soldier from that war was laid to rest in 2007. See stories from families whose relatives served in World War I here.
