Veterans Day is a holiday we celebrate to show thanks for our Veterans, Veterans are men and women who served in the armed forced in our country. This means that they are a part of the U. S. military, Veterans include those who were in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, or
Marines.
It takes bravey and honor to serve in the U. S. military. Many people in our military need to travel far from their families for long periods of time.
They miss holidays, birthdays, and especially family events. The members of our military also risk their lives as their work is very dangerous.
They do it because they want to serve the United States, and protect its citizens.
Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11th. The reason it is celebrated on the 11th is because fighting in World War I ended on the 11th day
of the 11th month at the 11th hour. In 1954, the holiday officially became a day to honor veterans of all wars, not just people who fought in
World War I. England, Canada, France, and Australia also remember veterans of World Wars One and Two on November 11th
On Veterans Day, many people choose to honor veterans in different ways. Schools, post offices, banks, and many other businesses close and
take a day off to honor Veterans Day. Some people write letters to thank veterans for their service. There are parades in many cities. In
Washington, D. C, there is a wreath-laying ceremony at a memorial named the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
