Veteran’s Day

Veteran’s day is  a holiday that we use to honor the all the veterans and victims of the World War 1. This holiday is celebrated on the 11th of November because November 10th marks the end of World War. The purpose of this traditional holiday is to honor those veterans who served in the war. It is important to show honor to veterans because they fought for us. They risked their lives for the safety of ours. It is the right thing to do when someone that might not even be related to you or your family goes out and represents you in such a risky manner. I also want to put it out there that originally the holiday was Armistice day and what that was is the holiday to honor the ones who had fallen. In the 1940’s it was changed to the Veteran’s day we know today.

Ways to honor the veterans who served or country would be;

1. - Congratulate and thank anyone and everyone who we know served the military
2. - Make our pride public by using social media and really letting it be known what November 11th is all about
3. - Hold a family celebration in honor of the Veterans, even though you might not know any
4. - Keep them in your prayers

I honestly don’t celebrate Veteran’s Day, but by not going to school. I have never really paid much attention to it until now. I didn’t really care what day it was. I just knew I didn’t get to go to school. Now that I know what it is all about I see the see the reason as to why we should celebrate Veteran’s day with honor. I, now, believe we should make known why it is we get a day off work or school. It really does mean a lot to honor those people who led us to victory. Without them there might not even have been a United States. Even now we might not have a United States.
