We are off school on Monday to honor our War Veterans. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month a silent moment was observed in 1919. Since then  Veterans Day, a legal holiday, is dedicated to American Veterans of all wars.
               Do you know anyone that is a soldier? Or someone who is very special to you?  Give their name and reasons why you feel that person is respected.
