England and France also celebrates Veteran's Day.
-----quote-----
In 1918, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month, the world rejoiced and celebrated. After four years of bitter war, an armistice was signed. The "war to end all wars" was over.
Similar ceremonies occurred earlier in England and France, where an unknown soldier was buried in each nation's highest place of honor (in England, Westminster Abbey; in France, the Arc de Triomphe).

Great Britain and France call it Armistice Day
Australia calls it Remembrance Day.
There might be others but those are the ones I've found so far.

"Armistice Day is the anniversary of the symbolic end of World War I on 11 November 1918.
The date was declared a national holiday in many allied nations, to commemorate those members of the armed forces who were killed during war. An exception is Italy, where the end of the war is commemorated on 4 November, the day of the Armistice of Villa Giusti. Called Armistice Day in many countries, it was known as National Day in Poland (also a public holiday) called Polish Independence Day. After World War II, the name of the holiday was changed to Veterans Day in the United States and to Remembrance Day in countries of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Armistice Day remains an official holiday in France. It is also an official holiday in Belgium, known also as the Day of Peace in the Flanders Fields."

The United States is the only one that I've found that calls it Veteran's Day but their are several other countries that have an equivalent to it. Great Britain and France call it Armistice Day
Australia calls it Remembrance Day.
There might be others but those are the ones I've found so far.
