Also known as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day.
Originally, Veterans Day was a recognition of the war veterans from World War I, when the Armistice was signed on 11-11-1918, at the 11th hour, but then it was changed to be a celebration of all veterans, from all wars, not just WWI.
We should remember those veterans--they risked their lives for their country and its people, and fought for the values of that country.
Respect, and honor them.
