This week it was veterans day. Veterans day is when we remember all the soldiers who have served in the armed forces. Veterans day is for the people who have served not those who have died, that is memorial day. The holiday was made right after WW1. I have lots of relatives who have served and who still serve. My grandpa served in World War 2 on an airbase in america as an airplane mechanic. He then served in Korea in Korea also as a mechanic. His father served in the calvary against mexico and Poncho Villa. My great grandpa on my mothers side was a bomber pilot and got shot down. Those are all my relatives who served in the army, I might to one day. I also have lots of second cousins who fought in Vietnam.
