Veteran's Day

Veteran's Day is not just a day to remember vets, it is also when my great-grandparents were married, before Veteran's Day became a national holiday. This year, Veteran's Day is 11/11/11, which I think is amazing. I learned that my great-grandparents were married in the 1930's. 11/11 started out as Armistice Day after WWI, in 1919, to honor the WWI veterans. In the 1950's, it became Veteran's Day to honor all the vets. I would say that Vetean's Day is awesome. The reason being is that there is no school :) and because we celebrate the vets for what they did for our great nation (USA).
