Eagle and Flag: The bald eagle has been the national bird of the United State of America since June 20, 1782 when the Second Continental Congress selected it as such. The eagle is a symbol of strength, freedom, power, and resilience. The bald eagle is a good choice for the national symbol because it is native to North America, strong, independent, and a survivor. It is also a majestic bird that can soar through the sky, which was a fitting symbol for a new country that had just won its freedom from England. The eagle has long been a symbol of strength in many cultures, including Native American cultures and the Romans.
Thank You Veterans: Anyone who has served honorably in the military is considered a veteran. These people served our country and made it possible for us to enjoy our freedoms today. You might know a veteran or have at least one living in your own neighborhood. Perhaps there is someone who served in the Navy during World War II or served in the Army during the Vietnam War. The branches of service are Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force. Maybe a member of your family served our country and is a veteran.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier: Memorial Day is a day to remember those brave men and women who have given their lives in military service so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have as Americans. Freedom does not come easy and these brave people made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It is not a day of celebration but a day of remembrance of those service men and women.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier serves as a symbolic grave for all war dead whose remains have not been found or identified. The Tomb began with one unknown service member from World War I, and today is the grave of three unidentified service members. Its meaning has come to represent the memory of all military members throughout American history. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier opened Nov. 11, 1921. The construction of the final design, as it appears today, was completed in 1932. Soldiers were first assigned to guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in 1926, to discourage visitors from climbing or stepping on it. In 1937, the guards became a 24/7 presence, standing watch over the Unknown Soldier at all times.
Veterans Day Parade: Veterans Day gives Americans the opportunity to celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. Veterans. Veterans Day was originally known as Armistice Day and was set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which took place on Nov. 11, 1918. The legislation was
passed in 1938. In 1954 congress, at the urging of many veterans’ service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting the word “Veterans”. With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.
