Veterans Day:
Today I conducted research on Veterans Day, my goal was to learn about the history and the purpose of Veterans Day.
Veterans Day started in 1919 when President Wilson called it, "Armistice Day". The purpose of this holiday was show graditude and appreciation to those who have served in the armed forces for the United States.
