The Muppets are puppets who have outrageous characters. Rather than be calm and polite like most puppets, the Muppets are bold and brassy, with a love of jazz and other non-puppet-like avocations.

Muppets are the creation of Jim Henson, who came up with the idea in 1955. They are the namesake for the Disney media franchise. The Muppets have their own area in Walt Disney World, and they star in films, television series, music recordings, print publications, and other media associated with The Muppet Show characters.

Kermit the Frog, who is a bit of a wise guy and kind of the leader, and Miss Piggy, who believes herself to be quite beautiful, are the two main stars of the Muppets. Other fan favorites are Fozzie Bear, The Great Gonzo, Rowlf the Dog, Scooter, Rizzo the Rat, Pepé the King Prawn, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker, Johnny Fiama, Clifford, Bobo the Bear, Statler and Waldorf, the Swedish Chef. 

Others are Sal Minella, Sam Eagle, Sweetums, Robin the Frog, Walter, Annie Sue, Pops, Lew Zealand, Beauregard, and the band Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem featuring Dr. Teeth on the keyboard, Animal on the drums, Sgt. Floyd Pepper on bass, and Janice on lead guitar, Zoot on saxophone, and Lips on trumpet.

Some famous Sesame Street characters became Muppets, such as Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Bert and Ernie, Grover, Cookie Monster, and the main characters of Fraggle Rock.

At this point, there have been eight Muppets movies released to theaters, the most recent being 'Muppets Most Wanted' in 2014. There also have been six Muppets television series, the most recent one being 'Muppets Tonight' in 1996. There also have been 28 or so television specials, including 'Lady Gaga and the Muppets' Holiday Spectacular' in 2013. 

That is not even to mention their half dozen video games, including 'Muppets Party Cruise.'

So, here we present some Muppets coloring pages and clip art for your enjoyment!

Veterans Day is observed each year on November 11. It derives from the ending day of World War I (major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect).

Veterans Day began as Armistice Day and only honored veterans of World War I, or 'The Great War' as it was known before World War II.

Armistice Day became Veterans Day holiday only in 1954, though before that it had been used to honor veterans of all the nation's wars.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had led Allied forces to victory in Europe in World War II, signed the bill into law.

Veterans Day is different from Memorial Day in that Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving.

So, we honor our heroes on this page, living and dead.
