Do we really owe our veterans? In life you're going to face death whether you want to or not. You don’t know when it's going to come buts it's going to come there's no escaping. Some of us put ourselves in positions where it can come early for example the jobs we choose like veterans there fighting for us, we didn't make nor told them to they do it because it's something they want to do the only thing we can do is give our appreciation because they put themselves in that position to fight on the battlefield we shouldn't half to owe them anything.…
A veterans Sacrifice Throughout the history of this great country, the United States, all the veterans of all the wars and battles are the ones to thank for gaining our freedom and keeping us free. This is as true now as it ever has been. A lot of times the sacrifice the veterans make goes unnoticed and unappreciated. I would just like to say thank you.…
The Department of Veterans Affairs has been helping veterans pursue their educational goals since 1944, when the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act commonly known as the GI Bill was signed into law. This act has been noted as being “one of the most significant pieces of legislation ever produced by the federal government” (www.benefits.va.gov) and one that has significantly impacted the millions of men and women that have served our country. Since then there have been many additions and variations to the original GI Bill, all of which now reside in law under Title 38 of the United States Code, however the goal has always been to assist veterans readjust into civilian life and provide these veterans educational opportunities that they may have missed…
A veteran to me is a patriotic, unselfish, brave, and courageous person, who would sacrifice time from their families to serve and protect our nation. As Jeff Miller once said, “The willingness of America’s Veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.” Veterans from every country have served throughout many wars. They have put their blood, sweat, and effort into doing the right and beneficial thing for their nation. Being a veteran means not only to serve in the military, but it means to have the selflessness and courage to go off to war to ensure the freedom of the nation.…
The question being asked of me is “Why Veterans are Important to Our Nation’s History and Future?” Veterans are important to me because I live with two of them and I have a lot of them in my family. Without them, I wouldn’t know the reason why we have people sacrificing themselves for our country. My Grandpa, Roy Noble, always said that “War is not good but fighting for our country is,” I didn’t really understand that until I realized without them we wouldn’t have a free country. Britain would have taken over and we would have a queen instead of a president, or something like that.…
Veteran: a person who has served in the military. That’s the definition that Google gives you when you type it in, but to me a veteran is more than that. I come from a military family. Words like loyalty and respect are commonly used in my home especially when it comes to describing my father and my grandfather, both veterans who have given up their time to serve this nation. Due to my father serving overseas, I know how it feels to wake up in the morning, walk down the hall, and expect to see a warm smile welcoming you to the kitchen, but instead find that it is not there.…
Mrs. Gallos English 3 Tyler Lingerfelt 6 April 2017 Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Veterans Veterans are viewed as strong, smart, courageous, and heroes consequently, veterans do so much for the citizens of the United States, but not enough is done in return for their fighting to protect America. They go through so much trauma from the wars overseas, it isn’t shocking if they come home with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. It doesn’t mean that they are crippled it just means that their mind is triggered (by something that reminds them of the event) replaying traumatic events that occurred giving them anxiety. Some veterans get to the point where they can’t handle the guilt, anxiety, or pressure of society and kill themselves. Something…

Veterans are not getting the care that they need. To begin, veterans in cities have to wait a long period of time to get the appointment that they need. Individuals who use VA Regional office can wait up to twelve to eighteen before getting an appointment ("introduction to do Veterans receive adequate health care"1). This is too long of a wait period for some because, some of the veterans have life threatening injuries compared to the common cold. Also, many veterans are not receiving any service.…
Because of the physical and emotional trauma that soldiers experience after returning home from deployment, they are unable to perform tasks such as obtaining jobs, as employers often view and determine their injuries as “disabilities”. Nicholas Johnson, a former specialist in the Arkansas Army National Guard, who spent a year in Iraq in 2006, stated “I can’t get a good job now because . . . I have to be upfront and say I have this disability, I have a tore-up back,” he said “So now, the factories here in Topeka, where I live now, they’re like: ‘Oh, wow, he has military experience.…

This prejudice often comes in the forms of stigma, difficulty with employment, healthcare obstacles, and much more.
