Honoring all of who have served the country in war or peace — dead or alive — although it’s largely intended to thank living veterans for their sacrifices. It was originally called Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I.
June 1, 1954, Congress amended the commemoration by changing the word “armistice” to “veterans” so the day would honor American veterans of ALL wars.
Activity #1:
Today We Honor Our Veterans - video (2:02) (music/pics only)
"Freedom is Never Free"- a Veterans Tribute - video (14:35)
The youtube title says Memorial day- but is a tribute to ALL Veterans and is appropriate to view for Veteran's day
Activity #2:
How much do you know about Veteran’s Day?
Watch “Bet You Didn’t Know: Veteran’s Day” (2:13)
Then answer the questions on the next few slides to see how much you do know about Veteran’s Day!
Write down the answers on a sheet of paper - you can put just the letter if you would like.
Activity #3
Write a letter or create a card thanking a veteran for their service. Make sure it is neat and easy to read.
Feel free to include drawings.
If you sign the card, do NOT put your last name or any personal information on the card.
Give the card to your teacher.
