Veterans Day

                                                                    Veterans Day

Veterans Day is the day when we honor the brave men and women who were in the army and were risking their life for our freedom. Veterans Day was held after World War 1. It is celebrated every year on November 11th.The main purpose of Veterans Day was to honor the end of World War 1 and the people who served in it. World War 1 ended on November 11th, 1918. It is important to keep honoring our Veterans because we are showing them thanks for all the sacrifices they made while serving our country. 

Here are a few ways of honoring the veterans who served our country:

• 
  
• 
  One way is to say thank-you to any veteran you see.
• Place flowers or flags on graves of veterans who passed away.
• Proudly display your american flag.
• Chat with some elderly veterans at a local retirement home
• Teach your children about Veterans day
• If you are on a flight and you see a Veteran offer them your window or aisle seat
• Volunteer at a VA hospital.
• Help homeless veterans through VA services.
• You can donate a stuffed animal to Operation Gratitude and they will create a Battalion Buddy for children of veterans or current soldiers

Veterans day is important to me not only because I honor those who served in the country but i also honor one of my family members who is thankfully still here today. My uncle was part of the military and he went to battle to protect our freedom. From many of the stories I heard he was very frightened of losing his life along with others who were with him. One message I would want to say is thank you too all our veterans and Thank-you to my uncle.

My reflection on Veterans day is that it is an amazing way to honor our people who have passed on serving this country. I also think that veterans day is one of America's biggest festivities to honor those who fought for us. Thanks to our soldiers and veterans our land became home of the free because of the brave. I know they must have been frightened to go to war but they made sacrifices for the sake of their country. Veterans day should continue on as one of the many festivities for America. Most of all we should keep honoring our soldiers and veterans for their hard work. Because of them America is free. For this I say Thank-you for your service.
