Veterans Day: Stories of Courage

November: USA


Americans celebrate Veterans Day to honour people who have served in the US military.

It is an important national holiday when people remember veterans from different wars and military operations.

Schools may organise special activities, communities hold parades, and people attend ceremonies at military memorials.

One of the most famous ceremonies takes place at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, where the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is located.

At 11 a.m. on November 11, a special ceremony remembers those who died without their identities being known.

Veterans Day is also a time to listen to the personal stories of former soldiers and thank them for their service.

The word of the day:  memorial /məˈmɔː riəl/

Meaning: something built to remember a person or an important event

Example: Thousands of people visit the war memorial to remember those who lost their lives.
