Veterans Day is an American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it's always celebrated on November 11th each year.

Remembrance Day also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day (the event it commemorates). It is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918.
 
 Thanksgiving  is a traditional North American holiday, which is a form of harvest festival. The earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.
