  1. I really like this holiday because it serves the great men and women that have served this country and fought for us. And you celebrate some family members dead or alive. And it's great because these people had to have so much courage and bravery to leave their families. It's just great because the families that have someone serving will be so so proud and they'ii have a great reason to. And celebrating miltary people is a great thing to do.

  2. I like Veteran's day because brave men and women who have done great things for our country. My great grand father was one of the guys who told the people were to go and what to do and whenever he would wake my dad and his cousin Robert they would have to stand up straight and put their hand up on their four head and say YES SIR! Like if he said to brush their teeth they would do that just to be funny and my great grand father thoght it was funny too!

    One way you can show thanks is to say thank you for you'r service. This is something you should do every time you see a veteran walk by. I am thankful to live in the USA because we are free to be who we want to be. Thank you veterans!

  5. I like Veteran's Day because it honors all the brave people that risk their lives for us. That part makes me glad. I have also gone to Arlington and seen the changing of the guard. But it makes me sad thinking of all the soldiers that have died fighting. So I guess Veteran's Day makes me slad. (Glad/sad!)

  7. I love our country because it has peace and no one rules over the U.S.A.
    I also like it because there is freedom of speech and so many different religions. The way you can thank the veterans that served us is by sending them a letter and saying how much you appreciate them. Another way you can look at the pictures that the veterans took and send kind comments. I think that Veterans Day is a good way of celabrating the people in the war, alive or dead.

  12. Celebrating Veterans Day is important because you think about the soldiers that fought for our country to keep us safe. At school we think of Veterans with prayers and posters. My family remembers my father's uncle who was lost in the Vietnam War. We have a lot of Veterans in our family. I love my country because we are a free nation.

  13. I think that Veteran's Day is a great way to honor the soldiers that protect our country. I celebrate by putting a U.S. flag in our front yard. Also a good way to honor the veterans is to go to a parade. I am thankful for the veterans that protect us.

    is good. The parades, speeches and taking some quiet time and remembering the soldiers serving our country. But sometimes it just makes you sad, they all were risking their lives for this country. I am thankful for all the soldiers that serve this country.
