Veterans day

 Veterans day is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I  to honor US veterans and victims of all wars.it is annually celebrated on November 11. It replaced Armistice Day in 1954.The propose of veterans day is to thank all the past veterans for their service.It is important to show honor on veterans day  because of all of the men and woman throughout history who fought in battles, served in the national guard and they reserves or were stationed on the base,stateside or overseas, did their part to protect the safety and rights of Americans.a few ways to show respect on veterans day is to, attend a veterans 

day event,donate to a veterans org,and lastly visit a veteran.one of my favorite ways to honor a veteran is to go to the cemetery on veterans day and leave my grandpa an American flag and red white and blue flowers(because he is a veteran).i believe that this is such a great holiday because many don't ever really think About the wars. they only really focus on the wars if they are in history class. this day is a day that in my opinion helps educate people. this day is a day that teaches you to honor.it teaches you thee many things that the veterans did for us as one ,as America.this holiday tells you that it shouldn't only be a few days you honor someone you should honor them always.veterans day is a great holiday and I'm glad to have it as a holiday .veterans should always be honored because from the bottom of our hearts we truly thank them.
