Veterans Day

Today I am going to write about Veterans Day, what the are, and what they do. Veterans are people who surve in the army, or some of call heroes, life savors, etc. Veterans Day is on the 11th day of November, today it is 11-11-11.  Veterans day is also when we celebrate our "heores" or people who surve in the army. Some of us may have family that have surve in the army or war.
                                     Veterans Day was elected as a holiday on November 11, 1918. It started to honor everybody in Wold War I. But then on June 1st, 1954, we decided to honor all Veterans of all wars, and not just World War I.The origanal concept for the celebration was for a day observed with Parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of buissness beggining at 11:00 a.m.

                         Today, we still honor people that go into war today, people who are in the Afgganistan war, we honor them as Veterans on Veterans day aswell. There are a few movies about the Afghan war, sych as Jar head, Brothers, and General kill.Anyways, you can also get books about Veterans Day, and moives, as I just listed. Here are the website sugggestion: http://www.va.gov/opa/vetsday/ http://www.history.com/topics/history-of-veterans-day
