Veterans Day

Veterans day is on November 11, on Veterans day we honor veterans and victims of wars, it is also known as the anniversary for the end  World War I. It is important to show honor on Veterans Day because you have to show respect to people who have risked their lives for their country. A few ways to show respect on Veterans Day is to take part in a Veterans Day themed event in your area, that helps show respect and awareness. You could also donate to organizations that help support veterans as well. Even writing a letter saying how grateful you are for their service makes their day a little bit better. Ask a veteran you know about their service, educate yourself on what happened to them during the war.

I think it is really important to honor our veterans because of how hard they worked for their country. They knew that they were putting their lives at risk when they accepted to go into war. I wonder why they renamed Armistice Day to Veterans day. I can see how it is confused with memorial day, hopefully as time moves on more and more people will know the difference. It is nice to see that it is a public holiday so that people may have a day off to properly respect and be with veterans. What I find cool is that other countries also have their veterans day around the time we do. I read a article on Veterans Day by History and found out that there are approximately 23.2 million military veterans in the United States. The majority of them being 65 years or older, and that California has the largest amount of veterans living in it than any other state!
