Veterans Day

War had ended seven months earlier when an armistice was made between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.That is why Veterans day takes place on November 11.Veterans day is a time to thank all those who have served in the armed forces and contributed in the war.As well as a day to honor the men and women of our nation who bravely fought and protected us.The Veterans Day National Ceremony is held each year on November 11th at Arlington National Cemetery and starts exactly at 11:00.

Reflection:I personally enjoy Veterans day to a great amount.I see it as a day of thanks and a day of praise to those who fought.To be in war is not something everyone can do nor is it easy.It's a rather traumatic experience to many in fact and for them to step up and take the challenge is greatly respectable in my opinion. I'm not really one for the,"Fight for your country" thing.I believe you should fight for your rights and what you deserve and believe in.It bothers me greatly when people confuse memorial day and veterans day or don't understand the difference.To most though its an excuse to BBQ and take a day off.
