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 celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary
of the end of World War I . The United States also originally observed
Armistice Day; it then evolved into the current Veterans Day holiday in 1954.
I think all veterans
should be remembered because they fought for our country to protect us. In the
past people were drafted and forced to serve many tours. Now in the present day
people volunteer to serve knowing they can come back injured or in a casket being
carried by other soldiers.
