Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, 2015

Your only assignment for today is to find out when we started celebrating Veteran's Day, why, what it was originally called, when we celebrate it, and the President that made it an official holiday. 

Ok, I lied-one more assignment. Write a letter to a veteran thanking him/her for their service. It doesn't have to be to a specific person. This would be what we would call an "open letter".
