By Kani McNeil With Veterans Day's passing, I want to dedicate this article to the veterans we see daily and their stories. Veterans Day was commemorated on November 11th this year, and I wanted to listen to what veterans thought about Veterans Day. In order to do this, I interviewed Ms. Hall, one of the East’s most positive veterans in order to get some insight. I asked, “How do you feel about Veterans Day now that you are a veteran?” to which she responded, “I feel like it’s seen as an important day but not acknowledged.” She elaborated, saying, “I’m not asking for much, just an email paying respect would be good.” I also asked, “Do you feel like your opinion has changed about Veterans Day now that you are a veteran?” She said, “Definitely. I used to really think about Veterans Day like just a day off of school, but now I no longer have that ignorance.” With these things in mind, I implore you all to go and give a bit of your time and gratitude to the veterans around you.
