Veterans Day

Before 1954 Veterans Day was known as Armistice Day but President Eisenhower officially changed it. Britain, France, Australia and Canada also commemorate the veterans of World War I and II on or near November 11. Canada has remembrance day while Britain has Remembrance Sunday. Veterans Day started after the end of the World War I. A year after Armistice Day the President decided that on November 11 on the 11th hour there would be a moment of silence to remember the veterans. After The Korean war and World War II Armistice day was opened not only to the veterans of World War I but to all veterans. Each year an unknown solider is buried in also the President or a representative put a reef on the memorial.

Reflection: My thought on veterans day is that it is a good thing that we are remembering those who have protected us from people who are willing to destroy us. In a way I think it is bad because certain families don't want to remember that because it bring back bad memories.My feeling on Veterans Day is that I am neutral because I like that we are remembering heroes but hate it for two reasons one is that war is bad but won't be stopped because every person has a different opinion and the other reason is that certain families are reminded of tragic events.
