Veterans Day is observed annually in the United States on November 11 to honor military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald occurred on November 10, 1975; it remains one of Lake Superior's most notable maritime disasters with all 29 crew members lost during a severe storm near Whitefish Bay.
