Today we went to an assembly, and we sang. We sang Yankee Doodle and then America . We celebrated Veterans Day. Veterans are people who served in the Coast Guard, Marines, Army, Air Force, and Navy. Lots of people in our class have relatives that were veterans, or who are in the service right now. Mr. Stocker read us a veterans book. It was Veterans Day by Jacqueline S. Cotton. We had fun.
A note on spelling from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs web site FAQ (http://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetday_faq.asp):
Q. Which is the correct spelling of Veterans Day? a. "Veterans Day" b. "Veteran's Day" c. "Veterans' Day"
A. Veterans Day (choice a, above). Veterans Day does not include an apostrophe but does include an "s" at the end of "veterans" because it is not a day that "belongs" to veterans, it is a day for honoring all veterans.
