veterans day step by step drawing tutorial

Hi everybody, and welcome to a new NIL-Tech tutorial: "Veterans Day". Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day" on November 11, 1919, the very first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for a yearly observance, and November 11 ended up being a national holiday from 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day commemorates all American veterans - living or dead - but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their nation honorably during war or peacetime.

 

So here are some interesting facts about the Veteran Day:

1. Great Britain, France, Australia, and Canada likewise honor the veterans of World War I and World War II on or near November 11: Canada has Remembrance Day, while Britain has Remembrance Sunday (the second Sunday of November).

2. The very first Veterans Day parade was kept in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1947, and now it's an annual tradition.

3. President Eisenhower established the Veterans Day National Committee. Consisting of leaders of veterans' groups, the committee fulfills numerous times a year in Washington, D.C., and plans Veterans Day activities and events that honor U.S. veterans. The committee is likewise dedicated to Veterans Day education, ensuring that the younger generations understand the importance and significance of the day.

4. Veterans Day takes place on November 11 every year in the United States in honor of the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918 that signaled the end of World War I, referred to as Armistice Day.

5. In Europe, Great Britain, and the Commonwealth countries, it prevails to observe 2 minutes of silence at 11 a.m. every November 11.
