The national holiday is observed on Monday, Nov. 12 this year.
As people across America recognize men and women who have served in the armed forces, West Pasco students will have to hit the books. All Pasco County Public Schools are open Monday, Nov. 12, according to the district's calendar. Most county government offices, however, are closed in observance of the holiday.

Do you do anything special on Veterans Day with your kids? Share your ideas, upcoming events and photos on New Port Richey Patch!
