“Act well your

part; there all

honor lies.”

Alexander Pope

 Reflection: What I think Alexander Pope is trying to say that we need to act well. And by acting well then our honor will be shown. We all have honor within us but not much is shown. But when you act well and people notice it, then that is when our honor will be shown. 

Presidents Day

“Presidents Day”

1. Presidents day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. It was established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington.

2. The purpose of Presidents day is to honor our fellow presidents and to take the time to thank them for what they have done.

3. Presidents day is usually on the third Monday in February, which in this case it is on February the 16^th.

4. A few ways to honor and respect Presidents’ day is to have our American flag out and be patriotic.

I honestly believe that it is great to have a Presidents day. It gives us time to honor and respect them. We celebrate this day with our families and friends. The presidents we honor on this day are the ones that we know did a great job and were true to us, so we are true to them by honoring the on Presidents day. 

Veterans Day

Veterans Day

            November 11, 1918 was the day that they said “ the war to end all wars”. The treaty of Versailles was signed.  Veterans Day is when we celebrate and honor those in the wars and those you tragically died during the war. President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 am. The united states finally recognized the end of world war 1 when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926. A lot of soldiers and nurses died on this day, and it’s nice that we have a day to honor them.

           

 Reflection: I think that it is nice that we have a day to honor those who served our country. They died with honor for this country and they were very brave to have done what they did. They to had families and were loved, they were humans, living and breathing and to thank them and their families for what they did we give them a day to honor them.
