Veterans Day

Veterans day is a U.S. holiday celebrated on November 11th. This holiday honors military veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces. People mistake Veterans Day and Memorial Day as a same holiday but it isn’t. Veterans Day honors those who are currently serving in the military and Memorial Day honors those who have died serving our nation in the military.It is important to continue honoring veterans because it is a way of showing respect to those people who have gone through tough experiences to protect our country and their sacrifices they have made while serving their country. One way to show respect on Veterans Day is to say "Thank you" and to donate to the USO. The USO is the United Service Organization.

 

Reflection:  I think that this holiday is very important because it honors those who currently serve in our military. I know maybe a handful of people who currently serve and who have served in our country and i know what hardships they went through. Having to leave their families, leaving their homes no knowing whether they will come back or not.This holiday is special to everyone in one way or another whether they know someone who is currently in the military or if they knew someone who is still alive that did serve in our country. No one should not be celebrating this magnificent holiday.
