The 9/11 memorial has only been open for five year so it is surprising that it is so popular. Over 300,000 people have already visited the 9/11 memorial. It’s making a lots of money because the cheapest tickets are $24 and the cheapest tour is $39, and that is per person. Also on the webpage you are able to donate.

The book, Veterans Day by J.J. Jorgens emphasizes the plight of neglected veterans in the United States of America. It presents a story about Mary Jane Morris, a female private detective. One Halloween night, she received an urgent voice message from her ex-partner, Davy, and she rushed to his office only to find him dead.

She felt Davy intentionally called her so that she could be the first person to discover his body; he wanted her to obtain clues about his killer.

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.
When we think of Thanksgiving events that Primary Schools have, most of us think of children dressing up like Pilgrims and Native Americans and eating some sort of food. At Alhambra Primary, our first graders experience The First Thanksgiving as if they were actually a child at the event! On the last day of school the week of Thanksgiving, students participate in a “Thanksgiving Village” full of opportunities for learning! Approximately two weeks prior to the “Thanksgiving Village” experience, students are taken on a series of several “virtual field trips.” These 20 minute field trips are online videos that have a tour of a Mayflower replica, a visit to Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts, and actual discussions with members of the Wampanog Tribe who are still alive today!
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.
