Thank you Veterans Veterans do a lot for us by defending our country and our home. We thank them by having a full day dedicated to our veterans. Three reasons that I think veterans should be thanked for are; going out to defend our country when no ones else does, I also want to thank you for demonstrating a great work ethic and doing all of this work for people you don’t even know. The first thing I want to thank you for was for defending our country.

WHAT DOES VETERANS DAY MEAN TO ME? veterans day is one day celebrated by almost everyone in the world on November 11th. What does it mean to me? I think of veterans day as a day where we celebrate people whom had served in war. Its a day of happiness but also for moring people whom had died saving and fighting for our country.
First, I thought that Memorial Day was a simple day off from school. A day where families visit lost loved ones, but otherwise the day was just a day in a three day weekend, because it really did not apply to my family. Sometime last year, however, I was listening to my school’s announcements and realized that I wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for the people that laid down their lives for the United States of America. This brought forth many new possibilities of where my mind could take me. I pondered the importance of Memorial Day.
Veterans day was originally called Armistice day. It got that name at the end of World War One. But the name changed to Veterans day some time after World War Two, to honor veterans from both wars. Every year, we celebrate Veterans day.
We celebrate Veterans Day every year on November 11th to honor the men and women who served and is still serving our wonderful country. We shouldn’t honor a veteran just once a year but everyday because they are protecting us everyday. When we say the pledge in the mornings we should be thinking about our veterans and what they did for us. Many veterans we get to still celebrate with and some were not so lucky and didn’t make it back home to their loved ones.
The History of Veteran’s Day Veteran’s Day formerly, known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War 1, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was “dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as `Armistice Day .” The observation of Veterans Day was set as the fourth Monday in October. The first Veterans Day under the new law was Monday, October 25, 1971; confusion ensued, as many states disapproved of this change, and continued to observe the holiday on its original date.
“... O say does that star spangled banner yet wave, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Nearly every American can recite the final lines of our National Anthem. However, few take the time to truly contemplate the meaning of these words. When I hear these phrases, I think of the principles on which our country was founded: the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. But perhaps more important than these rights are the defenders of them: our veterans.
Honoring the brave men and women who served our country is very important. Veteran’s day, which was originally called Armistice day, is the one date on the calendar that is dedicated to them. Simply telling someone in uniform, “Thank you for your service” could make their day. Simply respecting your country is honoring our veterans, because they worked extremely hard to protect America. To take honoring veterans a step further, you could write a letter to someone you know who served in the armed forces on November eleventh.
Veterans Veterans day is coming up so instead of celebrating it let's do all we can to show we appreciate them. I don’t know about you but my favorite hero group is the U.S.A. Military. Veterans are heroes because you're reading this. The fact that I was able to type this and the fact that you're able to understand this is why their heroes. Men and women have fought so we can go to school.
The true meaning of Remembrance day Most people think Remembrance day is is just a celebration that we celebrate in the eleventh month on the eleventh day in the eleventh hour. And that it is a day we have assemblies in our schools and carry poppies with us, but boy are they wrong. Remembrance day means a lot more than that. Remembrance day is truly a day we take out some of our time and appreciate the thousands of soldiers that sacrificed their lives so we could be who we are today. This soldiers risked all they had so we will be able to call our country a free land.
There is even awards given out on this day to people who have fought for freedom during World War
On Novmeber 11th, 2016, I had the opportunity to go to the Serbian Centre to meet some Canadian military veterans. I had a slight idea what was to come up, the ceremonies, stories from their time of service, and maybe a few questions about their life. But I never expected such an event to alter my thoughts of Remembrance Day. As Canadians know, every November 11th, we are expected to do two things.
