Veterans Day history, teachers guide, gallery and other
resources
November 2, 2015--Check out the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs Veterans Day Web page,
which is full of resources for observing this special day, whether through
learning about its background, or planning community or school-related events.
Teachers looking for materials to help educate their students on the history
and traditions of this observance can download and use our annually updated teacher’s resource
guide.
The teacher’s guide includes tips on planning a school
assembly, suggestions for classroom activities, information on available
scholarships, and opportunities to learn through the Veterans History Project.
Additionally, the Veterans Day poster gallery provides the option
to download and print the latest Veterans Day themed poster for the classroom
or other facility.
The VA’s Veterans Day page can help everyone learn more about the
legacy of Veterans Day.
Organizations can find out about membership in
the Veterans Day National Committee, which oversees the
national planning and coordination of the Veterans Day observance.
And those
who feel inspired to volunteer their skills with VA can connect with the VA Voluntary Service.
Volunteers are a priceless asset to the nation’s Veterans and to VA.
Lastly, travelers with plans to visit the Washington, D.C.,
area during this time can find out more about the Veterans Day National Ceremony held each year at
Arlington National Cemetery.
