However, most Americans confuse this holiday with Memorial Day, reports the Department of Veterans Affairs.Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans.Attend a Veterans Day event in your area, donate, put a flag up in honor,ask someone about their services,write a letter to a veteran even if you don't give it to them,visit a VA Hospital and lastly don't confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day.

World War I ended on November 11 at the 11th hour and on the 11 month. It was originally to honor the people that died in World War I and it changed to honor the ones that served in the U.S military.

Reflection:Veterans is the best holidays because it celebrates the day they fought for us. It is a good holiday because it may seem like just a day where we don't have school but it is not just that it is way more than that. It is to honor the people that fought for us to get freedom and to not be mistreated. Some people don't even care about veterans day and just think of it as a normal day.But it is not has a lot of meaning and shows how not all people are cruel and selfish people.So if you are one of those people change the way you act and treat a wonderful holiday that just as any other holiday.Make sure to honor those who fught if you see someone with a army uniform tell them thank you cause they might have fought for your freedom.So treat vetrans day like any other holiday because it is important.
