Coming from a military family I know Veterans Day isn't just a day off. It's a serious holiday that we honor those who served for our country. I think the name Veterans Day is better than Armistice Day. It makes the meaning more clear.

Veteran's Day is a very important holiday. I don't just see it as a day off, it's much more. It's a holiday to honor everyone who has served in wars and risked their lives to better our country. I am very grateful to every war veteran out there.

Veteran's Day is so much more than a day off from work and school. It honors those that have served our country and put their lives on the line to protect it. It is a very important holiday and we should all respect and honor those who it celebrates.

Several members of my family have served in the military. I even have medals and honors my grandfather received after serving. Veterans Day allows not only military families but everyone to honor and recognize those protecting our freedom and those who are fighting even today to protect our rights. Freedom is most certainly NOT free!

If it wasn't for those soldiers we would have our freedom. They risk their lives to give us our independance.

Veteran's Day honors those who have risked their lives protecting our country. This holiday is very important and I'm glad that we choose a day to reflect on our country's veterans. These people should be respected every day.

I think Veterans day is a VERY important holiday. It is NOT just a day off. Many men and women have risked, and even lost their lives fighting for this country and all the people living in it. Without them who knows how bad off we would be right now. Some of my family members have been in the military and air force and I have heard many stories about their experiences, some good and bad. I think some people take having a military as great as we do for granted, and dont give the men and women enough credit for their work. But as for me, Im so grateful to have a military as good as we do!

Veterans day is not just any ordinary day, it is the day where we show respect for the heros of our country. They died for us and our freedom, this day is very important. Many of my family members served in the military, and this means the world to me. It IS the most important holiday the world will ever have.

Veteran's Day is an extremely important holiday. On this day, we remember our loved ones and those who served, fought, and even died for our country. Without the military, without the navy, without the army, we would have never have the rights that we now have today. I am very thankful for every veterans out there. I am truly.

Some people like Veterans Day just because school is out. People really don't know how special this day is. We honor people who risked their life for us. This day is very serious.

I think Veterans Day is not just a day off from school, but a reminder of the people who have served this country for our freedom; and since then serve our community today. It is a day to honor the fallen, while given thanks to those who are still fighting for us today.

I think its great that we have a day set aside for veterans. We should have more than one day set aside for them. GOD bless America!
