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.…
Rylan Case Mr.Early Veterans day letter Honoring Men of War Veterans deserve our respect for what they did for our county while they were enlisted in the armed forces. Veterans should be honored because they protected our country, they risked their lives to protect ours, and they were also willing to obey the commands that were given to them and follow them without hesitation. Veterans protected our country and the world, knowing that each day may be their last. They fought for the freedom of our country and the freedom of the world.…
The people that go to the war to fight for our country are very brave. Some of them risk EVERYTHING. They will leave their families, pets, and more behind when they don’t know if they will ever come back. They are risking their life. Sometimes for no reason.…
Through the years when veterans return home they are either treated as heros or outcasts. These men and women often have trouble finding jobs and some even need some form of treatment. With the lack of veteran programs most of these people do not get the proper aid they need when they return. A large number of them have trouble finding jobs to pay for the medical attention they desperately need. Veterans are discriminated against by the lack of programs to support them.…
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.…
We in what way are out veterans not important. They have been there ever since the revolutionary war all the way up to now. Either they are fighting for our freedom or against people who have made wrong decisions to attack us. They have been the brave men and women who have and will lay down their lives in order to protect the country that they love and keep us safe and protected. We look up to them as brave individuals who will lay down everything to keep our rights and freedom.…
Nevertheless one thing that is clear about the word soldier is when people meet or hear of one they ask multiple questions. On the contrary when soldiers are at war they face many challenges that they would not face in civilian life. A lot of these experiences they espouse to not think of them. In All Quiet on the Western Front Paul says “Because one thing has become clear to me: you can cope with all the horror as long as you simply duck thinking about it – but it will kill you if you try to come to terms with it.” When returning back to their lives soldiers can't complete recoil back to their old selves because they have faced a lot of life changing…
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.…
“No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” This is the truth of many soldiers who have fought daily to keep peace in our own country. Our country involves itself in issues to help achieve overall tranquility in this world. These soldiers who gave their lives for us, for planet Earth to live on, are often forgotten or brushed to the side, particularly by younger generations.…
On a rare occasion do we remember the lives of our Veterans. War doesn’t just disappear in the minds of former Veterans. It can scar them for the rest of their lives. Veterans are not just a little thing to be thrown in the back of our…
What is an American? Well there’s multiple answers to that question, but the one answer that comes up to everyone's mind when asked is someone who was born in America or it's someone who is free. It's the most logical yet simple answer, but there's more to it. An American is not only someone who was born in America, it’s someone who is united, free and devoted to their country. In other words an American who shows their patriotism to their no matter who they are.…
Everyday soldiers get deployed, leaving the peaceful life. They don't know that when they get back everything will change. They don't know that they won't be taken care of because of their sacrifices. They don't know that they will come back from the war empty handed, with no money, with no career, and with depression. And worst of all they don't know that they will likely end up in the streets with no legitimate home.…
Veteran’s Day, what is it? Many individuals aren’t sure what Veteran’s Day celebrates, some even confuse Veteran’s Day to Memorial Day. Veteran’s Day is a day to give thanks to all American veterans; it doesn’t matter whether they are dead or alive. But it is especially given thanks to living veterans who have served their country. We celebrate Veteran’s Day by holding ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery.…
The lives of men in war are completely different than any ordinary day for someone not in war. They face many things that regular people couldn’t cope with. They have to worry about loud noises; the machine guns, diseases, and exploding artillery shells that often caused them to panic and lose their bearings. They only went forward because they were carried on by the force of the soldiers around them. Soldiers in war also lived with the persistent presence of death and watching people they loved die.…
