our gratitude,
we must never
forget that the
highest
appreciation is
not to utter
words, but to
live by them.”

Veterans Day Trivia
Facts For Elementary
School Students In
2015: 9 Things To Know
1. What is Veterans
Day? Veterans Day, also known as
“Armistice Day,” pays tribute to
Americans who served or are
currently serving in a branch of the
Armed Forces.
2. Who is a veteran? A veteran
is anyone, living or dead, who
served in a branch of the Armed
Forces.
3. When did Veterans Day
become a national
holiday? Veterans Day didn’t
become national holiday until 1938.
However, the first observance was
Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary
of the end of World War I. It has
been celebrated on Nov. 11 since
President Gerald Ford made it a
law in 1975.
4. Why is it Veterans Day and
not Veteran’s Day? The
apostrophe is not needed because
the day does not belong to
veterans; it’s a day to honor
veterans, the Office of of Public
and Intergovernmental Affairs of the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs said. Both
Veteran’s Day and Veterans’ Day are wrong.
5. How many veterans are alive in the
U.S. today? There is an estimated 21.9
million veterans, according to a 2009 report.
6. What’s the difference between
Veterans Day and Memorial
Day? Many people confuse the two. While
Veterans Day is to thank service members,
both living and dead, Memorial Day
remembers those who died in service to the
country.
7. What war had the largest amount of
American Armed Forces? More than 16
million Americans joined the service for
World War II, according to the 2009
Veterans Day Teacher Resource
Guide. Over 1.7 million WWII veterans
were still alive, CNN reported in June 2013.
8. Which state has the largest number
of veterans? With 2 million veterans,
California has the highest number. Texas and
Florida come in second with 1.6 million
veterans, the Census Bureau reported.
9. Am I off from school or work? Since
it’s a State and Federal holiday, many people
have a day off on Nov. 11.
