REFLECTION: My feeling towards Veterans Day is just giving thanks to all veterans who are still here today and those who passed away. It is important to always give honor to a veteran because they stood up with freedom. Without freedom America wouldn’t be how it is today. There is a day to honor and give thanks to veterans but they shouldn’t just be appreciated just that day, they should be appreciated every day for their service in our country. For me I never really recognize Veterans Day but now I do and am glad they are here and get honored by many people. To honor the veterans I would fly a flag.
