When I use Advanced Search and look for texts with “Veterans Day” as topic, no results. I tried it also with an apostrophe in two places (Veteran's and Veterans') in case that would bring them up. I find it almost inconceivable that no hymnals have tagged ANYTHING for Veterans' Day. In my experience a large percentage of churches incorporate this secular holiday into their services in mid-November, and this year it's actually on Sunday! FWIW I get 15 hymns when I search for Remembrance Day, the British/Commonwealth celebration that sort of combines Veteran's Day and Memorial Day.

When I put “Veterans Day” in the “Search the entire Hymnary” field instead of the Topic field, I got a (very few) hits, one of which ("Wake, Christian soldiers, wake") I was able to utilize. No clue why it came up.

The “Search the entire Hymnary” is a keyword search. The hymn “Wake, Christian soldiers, wake” has the word “veteran” and the word “day" in the text.
