Veterans Day Is On November 11!

By: Emma Kozuma

Veterans Day intends to celebrate and thank living veterans for their service. This day allows us to acknowledge their contributions to our national security and show appreciation to those who have served and are still serving. We honor this day on November 11th, of this year. We celebrate this on 11/11 to give universal recognition to the ending of the World War I fighting at 11 a.m., November 11, 1918. 

Therefore, we show appreciation at the 11th hour, of the11th day, of the 11th month. On this day, we celebrate veterans with a national ceremony honoring those who have served, giving respects to those we know who have served, and honoring those who we’ve lost. As a nation, we take pride in our military, who protects our rights and citizens. On Monday, let's take this day to thank the veterans in our lives, and to remember the ones we’ve lost.
