Veteran’s Day

“We celebrate and honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.”

This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country’s service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on Nov. 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to “Veterans Day” in order to account for all veterans in all wars.”-military.com

First grade honored Veterans Day with a trip to the cemetery to make rubbings of plaques dedicated to those who died serving our country. We are so grateful for all those who have fought for our individual rights and freedoms.
