Veterans Day is celebrates the service of those U.S military. Veterans Day also celebrates the soldiers who fought in the war. It also celebrates those victims who lost their lives during World War. The purpose of Veterans Day is to thank for the services veterans offered during the war. It’s like recognition for them. It’s important to show honor to Veterans because it’s an act of respect. They truly deserve respect, and honor because these veterans willingly gave up their lives to fight for their own country. Veterans Day honors these veterans annually, on November 11, ever since. It has been a tradition that has been celebrated more than sixty years. Ways to show respect for Veterans, is to say thanks. This is a well-known gesture people do common. Some people place flowers on Veterans graves to show respect and honor. Others choose to donate money to support these Veterans. Sometimes writing an appreciation card to those Veterans, shows a lot of honor and appreciation towards them.

In my opinion, I didn’t knew what was really the [purpose of this holiday. Until today, I got a good meaning what Veterans Day is and what Veterans are. I feel like it’s something nice to take a day off and recognize those people who just gave up their lives for those Veterans who served and died. Many people knew a Veteran, and this is something they can relate, weather a survivor, or victim. I feel like in away, people choose the right to make this a holiday because it shows a lot that we left this day for the recognition of those victims, and those who willingly fought. If I see a Veteran, I myself would say thank you. It would make me feel proud as well.
