Veterans Day

Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that honors people who have served in the U.S Armed Forces, also known as veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrate in other parts in the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War 1. The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4, 1926, requesting that president Calvin Coolidge issue another proclamation to observe November11 with appropriate ceremonies. A congressional act approved May 13, 1938, made the 11^th of November in each year a legal holiday “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day.”

       

Reflection: This is a very nice thing to do for we can all recognize the people that are serving our country and don’t care to lose their lives but to serve their country. I am thankful to have these people because they are risking their lives for us so the least we can do is give them a day to be recognized.
