People fly the American flag on Veterans Day. How many
times a day do you see the flag?
On the 11th hour of the 11th
day of the 11th month people
around the world remember
the soldiers who have fought
in wars.
It was started after World
War I. More soldiers had died
in WWI than in any other war
before that one. An Australian
journalist by the name of
George Honey asked people
around the world to observe
two minutes of silence at
11:00 a.m. as the treaty to
end the war was signed.
Every country in the world has a flag. A flag is a symbol
of a country. A symbol is a picture that tells us something
without using words.
The American flag has a
blue corner section with
white stars, called the
union. The rest of the flag
has red and white stripes.
Color this flag. Cut it out and display it in
a window on Veterans Day, November 11.
Stars are considered a
symbol of big dreams.
When we say, “Reach
for the stars,” it means
dream big.
