Veterans Day

November 11, 2015

Good Morning,

Today is a special day; it is Veterans Day. In 1938 legislation dedicated November 11 to be a day to honor those that served in World War I, also known as "Armistice Day."  On June 1, 1954 Congress changed the name to Veterans Day. 

The United States military has five branches of military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Today we salute and show appreciation to all men and women that have participated in any of the armed services.

Do you know someone that has served in the military?  If not, ask a family member about friends or family that have. What does this day mean to you?  Share with your class what this day means to you and to our country.
