Armed Forces Day (formerly Veterans' Day) in the United Kingdom is an annual event celebrated in late June to commemorate the service of men and women in the British Armed Forces.
Veterans Day, also known as Armistice Day, is celebrated on November 11. It is an official United States holiday that honors all United States army soldiers, dead or alive. It is known as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day to mark the end of World War 1. Veterans Day and Memorial Day are always confused. Veterans Day honors all soldiers and Memorial Day honors the dead soldiers. Also, the date November 11 or 11/11 is significant. The hostilities of World War 1 were officially ended at eleven o'clock on 11/11 or the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Any information of Veterans day?
Veteran's Day initially was known as Armistice Day, the day World War One ended. It ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month - today, obviously. As time passed, and people realized the "War to End All Wars" had not done that, it became known as Veterans Day in order to pay homage to those who've served this country in it's armed forces.
There was precedent: shortly after the end of the American Civil War, a day was set aside as a day in which to recognize the service of Union army veterans. That was known initially as Arbor Day, then became what we now know as Memorial Day - obviously not the same as Veterans Day.
You can point your search engine at "Flanders Field" to find the famous poem written about that war and some pics of the American military cemetery in Flanders (part of France). You'll also find links to various sources that can tell you much more about Veterans Day...
what is veterans day all about?
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.
