The query functions as an interrogative clause, seeking to identify a specific point in time. The central element is the proper noun "Veterans Day," which refers to a designated federal holiday. The adverb "when" initiates the request for temporal information, which is further specified by the adverbial phrase "next year." The grammatical structure is designed to elicit a precise calendar date (a noun phrase) as the answer, based on the established definition of the core proper noun.
Veterans Day is observed annually in the United States on November 11. This date is fixed due to its historical significance, marking the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918. Unlike several other federal holidays that were moved to the nearest Monday by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968, Veterans Day was returned to its traditional November 11th date by Public Law 94-97, effective in 1978. This legislative history establishes a consistent rule for its observance.
For the upcoming year, 2025, November 11 falls on a Tuesday. Consequently, Veterans Day will be observed on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. The standard rule for federal observance when the date falls on a weekendobserved on the preceding Friday if it is a Saturday, or the following Monday if it is a Sundaydoes not apply in this instance as the date occurs on a weekday.
