Today is Veterans Day. A day where we remember all those who served in the armed forces of the United States. Teachers should emphasize today's importance and really the whole day should be about teaching and learning about our veterans. Schools should not have off because then no learning could be done. Unfortunately, the teaching and learning of our veterans has been ignored. Parents should also discuss with their children the importance of today and what it means. If it was not for those veterans who put their lives on the line, we would not be the America that we know it. Yes, I know many things our changing about America that most do not like, including me, and that is why it is so important to teach and discuss all the good that America has been and done for the world and our veterans have played a huge role in that.
If you know a veteran or if you see one anywhere thank him or her for their service. These people should not be forgotten. Politics should not be the major issue today. It should be about a day of thanking our veterans of the service to our country and the day that we forget to thank our veterans, this country will no longer be the same. We must never forget our veterans.
