    1. Veterans day honors all of the men and women who have fought for our country. Many places have special events happening on Veterans day to show how thankful and proud everybody is of our veterans.
    2. I think Veterans day is good. It always seems that veterans are forgotten about so having a day dedicated to them is great. I think they deserve to be honored for all of their hard work.

      Honoring men and women who have fought is Memorial Day. Honoring the ones who are currently servicing is Veterans Day.

      I agree Emily, yes Veteran's Day is for the people that are serving, but it is also for the people that HAVE served our country. It is important that we show that we remember all that HAVE served and that are currently serving.

      I agree with what Klarrisa said. All of the people that have or are currently serving deserve our deepest gratitude. Veterans Day is a great way to do just that, but we should have them in our thoughts at all times, considering that we aren't only free on the day but instead everyday of the year.

    Veteran's day is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended the World War I. I think Veteran's day is a very important holiday , because it honors all military veterans.

    1.) Veterans day is and official U.S. holiday which honors people who have served in armed service also known as veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, not remembering women and men who have previously served.
    2.) I think Veterans day is a great day to celebrate the service off all U.S. military veterans. They deserve to be honored for all of their hard work in serving and keeping us safe.

    Veteran's Day is a day to honor and respect the people that have served our country and protected our freedom. Everyone has a different way to honor our veterans.

    Veteran's Day is very important because it is a day to remember all the men and woman that have fought and possibly died to protect the life that we have.

      I think that it is not only for those that have served but also the ones that are continuing to make sure that our freedoms stay intact. We should remember all of those that have and are currently spreading the message of freedom and peace throughout the world.

    1) Veterans day can be celebrated by holding a assemble at you're school or just holding a little get together it came to be from the soldiers that fought to keep us safe so we can have the live we have today.
    2) I think veteran's day is a good day. that's a time to show you're appreciation towards the people who have fought or the troops who are still fighting over seas for us today. If we didn't have our soldiers who risk there life for us or the wars we had our life could be a lot different we maybe wouldn't be here today or our lives could have been different.

    1.) Veterans day is a holiday to think about and thank our men and women that have served our great country. Many places take time out to thank them in person or through messages.
    2.) Veterans day is a wonderful idea. The men and women that served for us to have the freedoms that most of us take for granted should be rewarded and thanked for that.

      It's hard to believe that people have DIED to keep us safe, the least we can do is celebrate veterans day.

    1) Veterans day is a national holiday reserved for the celebration of veterans of all wars, and all those who have died in the military.
    2)I think veterans day is awesome. It should be veterans week though, or veterans month. We can't say thank you enough for everything our military does for us.
