Veterans Day

“On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.” -Dan Lipinski `With so much business in life these days, it is common to forget that our own everyday life is much different than that of those out fighting for our country. We often forget that not everyone in this country gets to see their families everyday and that…

Memorial Day, a day of pain, death, and remembrance for our loved ones. Memorial Day is a day that we get to thank our veterans who are active or even retired. It’s a day that I am glad we have. People, even myself included, can easily forget that we have the right to freedom in this country because of our troops. Troops who risk their lives to save their families and much more from death itself. When that veteran makes it home to his or her family, it is a precious moment to watch. It indeed is…

Memorial Day is a very important day to me and the United States of America. It's a day to always remember all of the brave people who fought of served for our country. Even though they shedded blood and tears during the war they still keep on going. They saw how some of their friends got shot and unable to do much for them but say ‘’it's okay’’ . The civil war was the cause of Memorial day it was one of the most bloodiest wars ever in history and this war is a blanket of bullets. I personally…

It was very very perfect sunshiny day on Wednesday November 11, 2015. I woke up at my house in Middletown and getting ready for my mom to take me to my orthodontist appointment in Muncie.

On November 11, 2015 was veterans day, it’s a time to remember who gave their all for their country to protect…

Why do we celebrate veterans day? We celebrate it to show respect to the veterans. We show respect to them because they have made sacrifices and some of the veterans sacrifices are never getting to see their families again, which is very hard. Veterans are like children, they listen to orders and they do what you tell them to do. Therefore, veterans deserve the utmost respect because they gave us the same respect. We do this because they sacrificed their lives for us and how loyal they are to…

previous wednesday was Veterans Day, an opportunity to thank those men and women who have served in the U.S. military. It would seem that Americans, and young people in particular, have a hard time relating to veterans, let alone celebrating them, and for good reason. Our culture today increasingly portrays veterans as a group of mostly conservative, uneducated, ornery white men afflicted by a variety of mental illnesses and unemployment. While problems such as mental illness and veteran…

Veterans Day is a national holiday dedicated to making sure military veterans get the proper respect they are due, it is also a day for all Americans to remember the sacrifices made by the members of our armed forces, past and present. These sacrifices are the reason you are able to live where you want, buy what you like, and to even criticize the government publicly. To show appreciation for all soldiers, Congress, at the urging of veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by…

whether in school or at a game. The word patriotism is an extended version of patriot which means someone who supports their country and is prepared to defend it. A patriotic person is also proud of being a citizen that they love. In the essay “ Veterans Day: NEVER FORGET THEIR DUTY” the author writes about a fellow inmate name Mike Christian who shows his patriotism during the Vietnam war. The act of patriotism Mike did was sew an American flag to his shirt that he would hang every afternoon…

Good morning on this very special day. I am Ava Pinette a 7th-grader at city school. To start I want to thank you for putting your lives on hold to protect our present and future. It took real bravery to do what you did. All of you could never be thanked enough. I was lucky enough to get a chance to speak to all of you. Everyone wants to meet their favorite superhero. But they’re forgetting who the real ones are. “Real heros don't wear capes, they wear dog tags and combat boots”.Today I…
