A Thank You Letter For Veterans Day

Decent Essays
Hello Michael,

First, Thank you for your service. It takes a lot of dedication to retire from military life and I hope someone thanked you on Veterans Day. Unfortunately I still work some side jobs as well. I am hoping that someday in the future I would not have to work as much to be able to spend more time with the family. Nice to meet you and I look forward to reading more posts.

    Source 4.1: Summary and analysis The article called “Ushakov medal for Arctic convoy veterans” was published on the 19th of June 2013. In May 2012 when the Russian Government requested permission to award the Ushakov Medal to British veterans of the Arctic Convoys including Leo Gradwell. British laws do not permit a British citizen to accept a Russian military medal and there was deep concern in the British Military, that Lt Leo Gradwell, despite achieving the objective of Convoy PQ17, had directly ignored a military instruction, an offence tantamount to treason. Nevertheless, given the passage of time, and the insistence of the Russian government an exception was made and the medals were presented in person by President Putin in London on 16 June 2013.…

    It is important to honor our veterans because they risked their lives for our freedom. Without them, we wouldn’t have won a lot of wars. Luckily, Congress made Armistice Day a national holiday so we have a set day to celebrate our veterans. Then in 1954 President Eisenhower changed it to veteran’s day to honor all veterans, rather than just from WW1. This is why it’s important to honor our veterans.…

    Most people think of Veterans Day as a day off from school or work, well they are wrong. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S Military Veterans. It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also the anniversary of the end 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 to effect.) Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day.…

    America is the land of the free, because of the brave. Americans enjoy many freedoms because of the democracy our ancestors fought very hard to establish. Freedom summarizes what being an American is about, but it’s not what an American is. An American is someone who is brave enough to do something even though the punishment is severe, someone who sees opportunity and stops at nothing to achieve it, and someone who doesn’t take the easy way out. Bravery is part of the definition of an American.…

    Is the government really granting veterans the health care and resources they need in order to survive once they arrive to their home land? Do you think that maybe just maybe the government focuses way too much attention towards funding the military instead of troops that have returned with some kind of disability or mental issue? I believe that the government is making a huge mistake on how they are granting health care towards a big group of individuals who fought for our country and for them not to be able to receive the proper care is a disgrace. These veterans should be established the best of care just for the simple fact that they have fought for our freedom and have gone through tough situations, which could be death related. The government as well does not offer enough…
