Text-To-Self

I am doing a text-to-world connection. In the book the Maximum Ride (I am reading this book) They are in a war. The reson for this war was because all the nazies hated the jews. This reminds me of World War 1. Because of when the nazies hated the jews and were trying to kill them and take over their country. Then the Americans came and saved the jews.

Veterans

In November 1919, presdent Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. And then a few years later they called it Veterans day. An act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day."Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting in its place the word "Veterans." Woodrow Wilson was in World War 1. Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) was the 28th President of the United States, serving two terms from 1913-1919.So were these men,
  • John J. Pershing

  • Gavrilo Princip

  • Joseph Glidden

  • Manfred von Richthofen

  • Wilfred Owen
