The core of the search term, "Veterans Day federal holiday 2025," functions as a compound noun phrase. This phrase identifies a specific, singular event: the federal observance of Veterans Day in the year 2025. The date for this observance is Tuesday, November 11, 2025.
The date for Veterans Day is fixed by federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) as November 11 of each year. This date holds significant historical importance, as it commemorates the armistice that ended the major hostilities of World War I, which went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. Unlike holidays subject to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which are shifted to a nearby Monday, Veterans Day is celebrated on its specific anniversary to preserve its historical context.
As a result of this fixed-date observance, the 2025 Veterans Day federal holiday will occur mid-week on a Tuesday. Consequently, federal government offices, the U.S. Postal Service, and most banking institutions will be closed. State and local government closures, as well as those for public schools and private businesses, will vary by jurisdiction and company policy.
