The radio and X-ray synchrotron radiation from supernova remnants (SNRs) and a growing collection of dynamical evidence points to the acceleration of cosmic rays at the strong shocks the. Gamma-ray observations of SNRs provide direct access to information about the population of high-energy particles present in SNRs, and in combination with multi-wavelength observations promise to elucidate the nature of the particles (electrons vs. ions), the efficiency of acceleration, and the properties of the confinement, diffusion, and propagation of high-energy particles. This talk will review VERITAS observations of SNRs, including IC 443 and Cassiopeia A, in light of new results from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.
