Veterans Day Coloring Pages
Veteran’s Day is a U.S. federal holiday that happens every year on November 11 to honor all veterans who have served the United States military. It honors all living, wartime, peacetime, and deceased veterans.
It originated in 1919, when President Wilson proclaimed Armistice Day. That day marked the 1 year anniversary of the end of World War 1.
It got renamed in 1954 by President Eisenhower after World War 2 and the Korean war changing it to Veterans Day.

Poppies And Veterans Day
You may notice that there are poppies on 2 out of 3 of our Veterans day coloring pages. Why is that?
It is because they grew very well in areas that were battle-scarred like France, Flanders, and Belgium during World War 1. The poppy represents the cycle of death and rebirth as well as the sacrifice of those who died and the new life that came from that sacrifice.
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote a poem that talked about poppies on the battlefield. But these flowers became the adopted flower of the VFW in the united states in 1922.
