2 Purpose of Veterans Day This weekend marks one of only two federal holidays honoring living Americans: Veterans Day. Veterans Day has came to its purpose, there are ceremonies, but mostly veteran families commemorate themselves. Veterans Day arouses three emotions in most Americans: solemnity, because it celebrates the veterans who have defended our great country; sadness, because so many have lost their lives in the process; and pride, because they have fought so well
