Reflection

I believe that Veterans Day is a great and honorable holiday. It is great to show respect to any Veteran who fought in any war just to show that we thank them for what they did. It is great to think how happy this makes those Veterans feel to show they are not forgotten. Just to imagine a smile on their faces not ashamed of how they came back. No further more Veterans Day is simply great.
