Veterans Day is more than just a holiday — it is a day of honor, reflection, and gratitude. It began after World War I, when peace was declared on November 11, 1918. Today, it honors all who have served in the U.S. military, whether in times of war or peace.

Veterans have done many brave things. They protect our freedom, defend our rights, and help others around the world. Many veterans return home with stories of courage, teamwork, and sacrifice. Some gave their lives so that others could live in peace.

On Veterans Day, schools, cities, and families come together to thank them. We see parades, flags, and speeches that remind us of their service. But the best way to honor veterans is to live with kindness, respect, and pride in our country.

Veterans Day teaches us to never forget the people who make our freedom possible. Their strength and courage inspire us to be better citizens every day.
