Welcome to the MM Veterans Day Scavenger Hunt

Today I am hosting 2 Bibliophiles Guide

Welcome to Jenn and Lynde from 2 Bibliophiles Guide on my blog. Aussies don’t have Veterans Day so the first question I asked when we were discussing the blog – what is Veterans Day?

Over to Jenn and Lynde.

Veterans Day is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I (November 11) to honor US veterans and victims of all wars.

When we decided to explain what Veterans Day meant to each of us, I was kinda stumped. I realize the two blogs being from different countries had completely different versions so I was excited to find out. I asked some blogger friends on Facebook what Veterans Day meant to them. I got the same response with little variation. It’s a day to Thank a Veteran. If you know American history you know we didn’t always treat our soldier with the respect they earned and the love they needed.

We have come a long way and I think each Veterans Day is a way for each of us to atone for the sins of the past. Our schools hold assemblies and Veterans are invited to attend. Its a small way to show respect. A lot of cities host arades, concerts and other events.
Overall the theme is THANKING a Veteran and never letting them forget we know what they sacrificed for each of us.

Everyone I questioned agreed on one thing. Veterans Day should be an event 365 days of the year.
