Veterans Day

Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day: Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving. It is a federal holiday that id observed on November 11^th. Major hostilities of War World 1 were formally ended at the 11^th hour of the month 11^th and day 11^th of 1918.  Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October, in 1978 it was moved back to its original celebration on November 11^th. President Reagan honored Weeks at the White House with the presidential Citizenship medal in 1982 as the driving force for the national holiday.  Though the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, November 11^th remained in the public imagination as the date that marked the end of the Great War. An unidentified American soldier killed in the war was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.; the U.S. Congress had declared the day a legal federal holiday in honor of all those who participated in the war. On June 4, 1926, Congress passes a resolution that the “recurring anniversary of Nov.11^th, 1918 should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations.”

Reflection: what this day is mostly about is appreciating the people who fought for our country so that we could be free. Many volunteers had died and left they’re family so that we can have the ability to make our lives however we want if it wasn't for them this country would've been ruled by a person who chooses the wrong and would've turned this place into bad.
