Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a holiday held on the anniversary of World War I. On this day you honor the US victims and veterans of all the wars. This holiday is celebrated every November 11 in the United States. The purpose of Veterans Day is to honor and remember those who fought in the World Wars, those who fought and are still with us. Veterans Day isn't only celebrate in the US, Canada celebrates it too, but it's called Remembrance Day instead. Also in Britain they hold a moment of silence (2 minutes) at 11 am on November 11, they have Remembrance Sunday (the second Sunday of November). It is important to show honor on Veterans Day because we have to acknowledge the sacrifice those soldiers did for us. We need to show appreciation to them, show our gratitude. Without them we wouldn't have freedom from those countries that where controlling us. Some way to honor them is to thank them if you ever see one, help them out if needed, and/or just talk to them and ask them about how they feel. Something of special interest to me about Veterans Day is that I like how we have kept this tradition and every year we honor those who fought for us. It is special how thanks to someone's bravery we were able to be free and independent. My feeling towards Veterans day is that, I'm very happy for those who risk their life for us. I will honor you all, even though I don't even know you guys. Your sacrifices will never be forgotten! I am happy that we have such brave men who decided to risk their life for us, so we have a better place. I'm very thankful for those who risk their life constantly for this country and for the people in this country, thank you! I also feel that it is good that we still honor them today. I feel so much gratitude towards the veterans because without them we wouldn't have this freedom. Finally, I feel that we should continue this holiday because I think it is important to continue showing support for them.
