Also from the library
SJPL’s Veterans Day page includes resources for veterans and their families, along with books and films about veterans’ experiences. It also points to Veterans of Life Write, an online writing program where participants have shared their stories in film and poetry and published a book.
The library notes that the holiday began as Armistice Day, marking the end of fighting in World War I. It was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all American veterans.
