What is Veterans Day & Why Do We Celebrate It?
Veterans Day is on November 11. A veteran is a person who served in the United States military. They served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, or Space Force. Veterans work hard and travel far away from home to protect our country, our families, and our freedom. We celebrate Veterans Day with parades, speeches, and moments of silence to honor their bravery, dedication, and sacrifices. Writing a personal letter is a special way to say thank you and show our gratitude to these real-life heroes!
