Veterans’ Day is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I (November 11) to honor US veterans and victims of all wars. Veterans’ Day differs from Memorial Day in that is honors and celebrates living service members as well as the fallen. Below are some ways that you can show appreciation to service members:
- Attend local Veterans’ Day events (for example “Let’s Laugh AV” at the Palmdale Event Hall on November 11th from 5:00 – 9:00 pm)
- Fly an American Flag
- Visit a VA Hospital
- Verbally thank a service member
- Write a note or card and send it to an active service member (https://amillionthanks.org/
