King? Or Veterans?

My thoughts on the subject are probably nothing because I am merely a student. But that doesn't mean I don't question this. I personally think that we should have had school if we had school on Veterans Day. Why? Because we need to know about both subjects. Yes, we've learned about both is earlier grades, but I see Martin Luther King Junior Day as more important. My reasoning is simply this: He did standing up for his people. He alone got assassinated, not killed in the war like soliers did. I understand that Veterans day is important too, I respect that. If we have school on one day, why not have it on the other? That doesn't seem to make sense to me. But, it's possibly just my way of thinking. I would like to know more about Martin Luther King Junior, but we don't really get the chance to discuss what he did anymore, unlike with veterans day.
