Delaney Scharbach Trinity Lutheran School Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar. It’s not just a parade or ceremony — it is a day to honor the service, sacrifice, and courage of the men and women who protect our country. It recognizes the human cost of freedom.

Veterans Day is important because it celebrates those who risked their lives to defend our country. It began as Armistice Day, declared by President Wilson in 1919 to mark the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. In 1938, it became an officially recognized legal holiday nationwide. After World War II, in 1954, it was rightfully renamed Veterans Day to honor all the veterans who served our country and its people. ×
