Veterans Day |
|
Veterans Day is an American holiday
honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and
a state holiday in all states, it is celebrated on the
same day as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in
other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the
anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended
World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were
formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the
11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the
Armistice.)
Veterans Day is largely intended to thank veterans
for their service, to acknowledge that their
contributions to United States national security are
appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those
who served - not only those who died - have sacrificed
and done their duty.
Source: Wikipedia
A Veteran is A "civilian veteran" is a
person 18 years old or over who has served (even for
a short time), but is not now serving, on active duty in
the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or the
Coast Guard, or who served in the U.S. Merchant
Marine during World War II. People who served in the
National Guard or military Reserves are classified as
veterans only if they were ever called or ordered to
active duty, not counting the 4-6 months for initial
training or yearly summer camps. All other civilians 16
years old and over are classified as nonveterans.
