Free Veteran’s Day Printables

We love our freedom, and we love the men and women who’ve fought to preserve it. So, in honor of Veteran’s Day this week, I wanted to share a few free printables with you.

In Flanders Fields

Next, I have a free printable copy of the beautiful old WWI poem, “In Flanders Fields.” Click on the link below to get yours:

Artillery commander and brigade doctor, Major John McCrae, wrote this poem after being called upon to conduct a burial service for a fallen comrade. Legend has it he was dissatisfied with what he had written and threw it in the trash. We only know about it today because someone came behind him, pulled it out of the rubbish bin. The poem eventually found it’s way into a newspaper and has been well-loved ever since.

I’m planning to commit this one to memory and to have my children do the same. Not only is it a historically significant poem, but it also bears our family’s name. And it was written by a man who, like my own dear husband, served his country as an army doctor.

Learn More about What the US Military Does

In the first 5-Minute PragerU video in the series linked below, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth explains why he believes the US Military deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. It is well worth the watch — especially on Veterans Day — weather you watch all the other equally informative 5-Minute videos in this marathon series on all the various wars our armed forces have fought in our nation’s 250-year history.

A Freedom-Loving Journal

Most of these Veteran’s Day printables were originally published in God Bless America, my devotional journal for patriots.

My goal in creating this little journal was to inspire readers to think deeply about what it means to be an American. What is our responsibility to the rest of the world? How can we preserve the freedoms with which we’ve been blessed? And how do we ensure the guiding principles on which our nation was established are never forgotten?

I hope you have a wonderful holiday. And remember, if you enjoy living in a free country, thank God… then also thank a veteran!
