Celebrating our Heroes!
By: Jeremy Lays Bad ‘14
On Nov. 11, 2013, everyone celebrated Veterans Day and the heroes of our nation. We celebrated the remembrance of our heroes who are fighting for our country and sacrificing their lives for us.
On Veterans Day, people look back on any relatives or close friends who fought for our country. People go visit the veterans at a cemetery and salute them as a sign of respect. We remember wars from World War I to Pearl Harbor. To show we celebrate Veterans Day, people make commercials on television, visit their deceased loved one who fought in war at a cemetery, or have a cook out.
People take advantage of this day as a day off from school. A RCHS senior was asked about what he did on Veterans Day. "I just rode horse all day,” said Daniel Kills Small. Kills Small also said something that would surprise a veteran. “I’m thinking about joining the Marines,” said Kills Small.
The first Veterans Day was in 1978, instituted by President Gerald Ford.
