Guess what? WE DON’T HAVE SCHOOL ON TUESDAY!
You want to know why we don’t have school? Yeah I know that you do. It’s because of Veteran’s Day. Veteran’s Day is to remember all of the people who have served in the U.S. military that’s what makes it so important. We have this day off to remember the people who served in our armed forces. It is also to commemorate the end of World War 1, which ended on November 11th 1918. Some traditional activities that people do on Veterans Day is going to visit veteran’s in their family and tell them how much it means to them for all that they did for us. Some people also visit many Veteran’s Memorials to help the remember what veteran’s day is all about.
“I have every confidence that our Nation will respond wholeheartedly in the appropriate observance of Veterans Day, 1954.” – President Dwight D. Eiesenhower
