Today, on November 11th, Veterans Day is observed. It is an official United States holiday that honors all people who have served in armed service. On the exact same day, in 1918, an armistice was declared between the Allied Nations and Germany after the World War I. In 1938, Veterans Day became a federal holiday in the U.S.
In Loyalsock, this day was observed as well. The day started with a moment of silence to honor veterans. However, this was not it. At the end of the day, during reach, a short video filmed by History club (Anastasia K., Emily K., and Micah R.) was shown to the students. In the video, some of the students in Loyalsock were interviewed; they were asked to state how the fact that someone in their family is in the military influenced them. It was a great way to honor veterans and remind students of their great service.
