Veterans Day Teacher Resources

Veterans Day is observed on November 11, a day for recognizing veterans who have fought for their country. For teachers, this can be a great opportunity to talk about inclusion in the military, American war history, and other related topics. We’ve included a list of free resources and marketplace suggestions to help you bring Veterans Day into your classroom.
