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.…
Veterans Day is one of the most well respected holidays in the U.S. Veterans day is a day to honor our troops. No country has ever achieved as much as the United States has. The U.S. would have never increased into the amounts of protection towards our freedom and justice it is today without the sacrifices our heroes have made. Our heroes risk their lives not only at war, but at home. While our veterans are out fighting for our freedom, they cannot be at home supporting and making great memories with their families.…
Veterans Day Past and Significance Veterans march down the street, American flags peaking out from the ground, firerucks and sirens wailing and people cheering. Ceremonies are held to honor those who served in the Armed Forces. Veterans Day, also known as remembrance day, originated with a document to end World War I. World War I left the country stunned with its remarkable toll on human life. Untold millions were killed.…
1. Describe what you did on Veteran’s day to remember Veterans. Today on Veterans Day, I stayed home and spent time with my grandpa as he used to be in the Navy. His dad was also in the Army and served in the Korean War, and his wife was a faithful army wife.…
Veterans day is important to our country because it is a federal holiday and is celebrated as remembrance day. It was on November 11, the signing of remembrance day that ended world war 1.…
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.…
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.…
The Department of Veterans Affair is a government-run system that offers benefits to veterans. Some of these benefits include compensation and pension, education and training, home loans, insurance, vocational rehabilitation and employment, and other services. As one can see the VA has a wide variety of services available to help out veterans, both emotionally and financially the VA offers them. However, looking at the bigger idea are these services easily attained by those veterans and if so are the services actually helping the PTSD veterans.…
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.…
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him,” said G.K. Chesterton. A love for their country is why my veterans serve. It never really sunk into me how much veterans sacrifice for us. I think that we need to show as much respect to people that have served in the military forces to make us be able to be free. Or be able to pursue whatever we would like to.…
The America I Believe In Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday. The America I believe in to honor and thank the people the people who fight for our country.

Every day 50.4 millions children everywhere in America go to school. Little do we know what America is doing for us and the sacrifices made to ensure our success. The veterans of America give to our generation the protection of our freedom and rights, so we can grow and thrive to in turn, each do our part in America’s society. America’s veterans selflessly protected our freedom and rights. They have left their families and homes to go to war for our country.…
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.…
After returning home from war it is difficult for veteran's to find purpose in life. The usual activities lack emotion creating stress and anxiety. But one activity I found creates emotion and excitement. As a combat veteran suffering from #PTSD experiencing SCUBA opened up new doors and possibilities. The WAVES Project facilitated this journey allowing me to live a productive life full of joy and wonder.…
