Why is Veterans Day celebrated?
He Veterans Day It is a national holiday that is celebrated every November 11 in the United States, to pay a well-deserved tribute in life to those people who have served the United States Armed Forces. In 1919 the first anniversary of the end of the First World War was celebrated.
President Woodrow Wilson declared that day as Armistice Day and since 1938 it became a legal holiday, but still maintained the name Armistice Day. In the early 1940s this changed and since then all veterans of the United States Armed Forces have been remembered. In 1954 it became, legally, Veterans Day.
This day is celebrated in all states of the United States with tributes, parades and ceremonies. However, the most important celebration is the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in Arlington Cemetery, a few minutes from Washington, DC.
Why is Thanksgiving Day celebrated?
He Thanksgiving Day either Thanksgiving Day (in English), is a very important holiday in the United States, even more important than Christmas. This holiday dates back to the arrival of the first pilgrims on the Mayflower ship to the continent. These men would not have survived the winter without the help of the natives.
The Plymouth Colony did not have enough food to feed the people. But thanks to the native Wampanoag tribe, they planted seeds and learned to fish. Therefore, in 1621 they offered them a dinner as a thank you for teaching them farming and hunting techniques that were essential for their survival. This is how Thanksgiving Day began: a day to give thanks for the blessing of the harvest and for all the good things that happened the previous year.
Why will Veterans Day be moved forward in 2023?
This 2023, November 11 falls on a Saturday, but it will be celebrated on Friday the 10th. The reason? Well, the labor law in the United States indicates that when the work holiday falls on a Saturday, it is celebrated on Friday; and if it falls on a Sunday, it goes to the immediately following Monday. The objective is to be able to form a long holiday and for workers in the North American country to have more days off to enjoy with their family.
