Veterans Day is a day for remembrance of fallen heroes and wounded heroes. There are people in the schools who might have had a relative in the military, and even they know that they are treated unfairly. My grandfather was in many wars, and I took the day off from school to remember him because our school district doesn’t think we need the day off.

That is messed up. If we can have a day of Martin Luther King Jr., we can have a day off for the service men and women.
