Veterans Day

Elmhurst will be closed on November 11 in honor of Veterans Day. We will reopen at 7 a.m. on November 12.

Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11, honors all military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. It originated as Armistice Day in 1919, marking the end of World War I, which formally concluded on the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” in 1918. In 1954, it was renamed Veterans Day to recognize veterans of all wars.

The day is marked by ceremonies, parades, and moments of remembrance across the country, emphasizing gratitude for the sacrifices and service of military personnel in defending the nation’s freedom and security.
