states, “Sometimes it is dif?cult to explain to younger chil-

Ever since the end of WWI in 1918, Americans have set aside November 11 as a day to remember the many con?icts that
our country has survived, thanks to the bravery of our veterans. These men and women have continuously put
their lives on the line to help America maintain its freedom. Some have paid the ultimate price.

Veterans

Those who have lost their lives in combat against America’s enemies will always be remembered on
Veterans Day, especially by those who have been through the same terrors. But no matter when or where soldiers have

fought to help the United States hold on to its rights and freedoms, Americans everywhere owe them appreciation
and recognition every day, but especially on Veterans Day!
