In 1918, at the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, fighting ceased in World War I. Formerly known as Armistice Day, Veterans Day (November 11) is a day to honor veterans living and dead who have given so much to protect our country. And, in case you were wondering, Veterans Day is spelled without an apostrophe because the day doesn’t belong to veterans, it is a celebration of them.<\/p>\n

Library of Congress: Veterans History Project
\n
\n“The Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war.” The project includes stories told through correspondence, personal narrative and photos or drawings. It covers six wars, starting with World War I (1914-1920) and including the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts that began in 2001.<\/p>\n

History: Veterans Day Facts
\n
\n“Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans \u2013 living or dead \u2013 but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.” Visit for a video explaining “the many contributions of America’s armed forces throughout the country’s history,” and a list of quick (easy to understand) facts. <\/p>\n

Pinterest: Veterans Day Activities
\n
\nFor preschool and elementary grades, this Pinterest link is a search results page, rather than a board moderated by a single pinner. Double click on any of the images to visit the pinned sites. Activities include coloring pages, word search puzzles, crafts, poems, wall posters, mini books, and art projects.<\/p>\n
