Every year on November 11th is one of the United States annual holidays called Veterans' Day. This is a holiday to honor our 24.9 million Veterans' who have served in the military. Verterans' Day is also known as Armistice Day or Rememberance Day in other places in the world. World War 1 ended on November 11th at the 11th hour. That's why Veterans' Day in on November 11th.
Many people like to celebrate Veterans' Day because it is a federal holiday. Its a tadition ever since the ending of WWI for people take school days and work days off. Mail is not delivered and government offices are closed. Workers that are federal get paid for the holiday. The people that actually have to work on the holiday get paid wages. Ravioli is the main meal that is served on Verterans' Day.
I personally think it's pretty cool that they have a day to honor our veterans. My cousin is a marine that faught over in Afghanistan and got shot in his right hip and is not a veteran. I am very proud of him.
