Veterans Day.


Veteran's Day. What is it? Why is it such an important day for you and others?

Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. It is both a federal and and a state holiday in all states. It is observed on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. Hostilities were ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. I think its important to honor those who have fought for our country. Its a major holiday in my family, because most male members of my family are in the military or have served in the military.
