VETERANS DAY


Veteran's Day is a day we honor the soldier's who fought to protect our country. A day to remember the soldier's who gave thier lives fighting in wars we were involve in. Veterans Day is the American name for the international day called Armistice Day. It falls on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War One. It is both a federal day and a state holiday in all states. The same day is observed elsewhere as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day. The day has since evolved as a time for honoring living veterans who have served in the military during wartime or peacetime, partially to complement Memorial Day, which primarily honors the dead.
