Why I Appreciate America’s Veterans
Veterans. Veterans are individuals who served in the military. They are brave men and women that came forward to protect our freedom when we needed to create a nation where freedom would reign. They would risk their lives, so that we could live free. They answered the call, willing to give it all. They defended our nation and held our flag high, so people would see the stars and stripes, as well as, the red, white, and blue waving in the distance. They took a brave stand, to defend this land. They paid a great price and sacrifice. They served with courage, honor, strength, integrity, commitment, valor, character, bravery, sacrifice, dedication, and excellence. I will always remember and be proud. I salute

    Why are Veterans America's heroes. Veterans do so much for us and our nation, risking their lives and leaving their families so we can keep ours.

    We keep Lincoln’s promise for the veterans by, paying for their GI Bill, if they are fighting in Iraq, Vietnam or something, and something really bad happens to them, like them breaking/losing their arms or legs, or if they go into a coma or something, the government pays for that, because they care about our veterans too. Whenever the veterans get home, we can throw parties for them whenever they walk through the door, to make them feel like they are welcomed back, and that they are loved. We would probably invite the people that they cared/loved about the most. When my uncle got back from serving in the military, we threw a party for him and the people that were there were Me, My Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Kaden(My Brother), Drake(My Brother), Cousin(Brady- His Son), Cousin(Djerrah), Cousin(Xevo), Cousin(Gavin- His Son), Cousin(Hannah- His Daughter), Cousin(Cousin), Enzzo(Cousin)…

War veterans see so much in war and learn so much in war they can not unsee. It is hard to just sleep in your bed after 3 years of death and losing people you love.…
