Veterans Day
1.   a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I (November 11) to honor US veterans and victims of all wars
2.   Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938.
3.   . The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
4.   Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. 
5.   Say “thank you.”  It’s such a small, simple gesture that is completely disproportionate to the sacrifice soldiers make for us, but they really do appreciate it.
6.     
7.      It is a reminder for us to always respect and pay tribute to our men and women in uniform who served

8.     Reflection: my feelings about Veterans Day are that we should all be thankful for all the veterans that fight for us. We need to be thankful because they leave their families for a long time. They risk their lives just so they can fight for all of us. Most people when they take this day off them would not show respect to them. But they should do something because they are fighting for our freedom. Honestly they take a lot of their rime fighting out there and they don’t get respect that should change timely. We should help them and their family because they were fighting along too not physically but mentally. This day is big and should be well known by people living in the uses maybe people need to get more involved in this. Also men did not only do this also women too.
