Yes Veterans day is a day to rejoice in the feedoms and liberty that many people take for granted. It is to celebrate the fact that many brave men went off to war during WW1 (of which there are so few remaining), WW2 (numbers also dwindling), The Korean War, Vietnam and any other war torn countries that North American has lost it's youth. Today you can include females in that mix also as there are many brave women who have gone to battle in the Gulf War and the oil war that is going on now. I usually don't answer homework questions but feel that everyone should be aware of the brave sacrifices that these veterans gave in order for us to live as we do today. Bravo and hope that your paragraph will educate others in your class on what Veteran's Day is all about.

On November 11, 1918, on the 11th hour of that morning, the Armistice was signed to end World War I. It was signed in a train car in Compeigne, France. Years later, Hitler destroyed the train car. As far as Veterans Day, however, it's to remember all the horrors and all the profound sadness of war, and to remember the day when the horrors stopped.

Originally it was Armistice Day to celebrate the end of WW1, On June 1, 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor all U.S. veterans.
On Veterans Day we remember all the soldiers who have served and are serving our country. We acknowledge those who are living and those who have died who defend this nation , its people and Freedom.. We as a country Thank them for their sacrifice and service...

Keep in mind that what teachers want to hear is stuff like: Veterans day is about showing respect for those who have served our country.
Just go along those lines.
Say stuff like: Veterans day is about showing respect for those that have served our country, died to protect our freedom, and are fighting for our rights today. It is about honoring the people who put their lives on the line just to make America a better place to live. On Veteran's day, we remember those who have died serving our countries, and we thank those who are fighting for us today.
Good luck on your report!!

Veteran's Day commemorates the memories of those brave men and women who were killed in the defence of their country, and at the same time, honors those who are still living and serving in the military, as well as those who have completed their tour of duty in previous years.
If you're going to write about it, make sure you know how to spell the word, "write".

I suppose, for me, Vietnam used to be the primary warfare in which individuals at house form of knew extra approximately what used to be happening, in contrast to WW one million/two. However, it used to be additionally the warfare that confirmed how the men within the fits that take a seat within the political seats are those that quite run the warfare. I see the identical factor with the Iraq warfare now. I do not imply to offend any person, least of all the ones courageous guys/females who had been/are there, however there's a line within the GnR track Civil War that claims it excellent: ' you are vigour hungry, promoting infantrymen in a human grocery retailer'

It is about the realization that freedom is not free, and that it takes the sacrifices and efforts of our military to keep us safe. Memorial Day is to honor our dead heros, Veterans Day is to honor our living heros.
I hope this helps.

It's our opportunity to reflect on the fact that "freedom is not free."
Another way to say the same thing: "If you are reading this, thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, thank a Veteran."
