Veterans Day
Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day–a common misunderstanding, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Memorial Day (the fourth Monday in May) honors American service members who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle, while Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans–living or dead–but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime. It is important because it's real people like these who protect and honor our precious freedom each and every day. Here are 8 ways to honor on Veterans Day 1.) Show up to a Veterans Day event 2.) Donate 3.) Fly a flag Correctly 4.) Ask someone about their service 5.) Write what you know about it 6.) Don’t Confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day 7.) Visit a VA hospital 8.) Get outdoors with a Veteran
Reflection: I think veterans day is good cause some people sacrifice their life to serve are country. But the only problem about that is you are going to be away from your family and not see them and while you're fighting and serving are country you might never see them cause you might ... this is why there is event you can attend and they have a day where you can talk about veteran day.
