Veterans Day, formally know as Armistice Day, is.....Today!
It came about becasue of the ending of World War I, which was known as The Great War back then.
The Treaty of Versailles was signed on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh hour to end the war. Which is why Veteran's Day is always on November eleventh.
The day was orginally created to celebrate the veterans of WWI but after WWII and the Korean War happened the holdiday was changed to Veterans Day to celebrate all verterans.
It is important that everyone knows about this day and why we celebrate it.
Even if you may not agree with war a still beleive that you need to celebrate and give your appriciation to those people who put their lives in danger to protect our country.
Today make sure you give thanks to any veterans you know and maybe even some you don't know.
