Speech On Veterans

Improved Essays
Most of us have had a family member in the military. Maybe it’s time to say an extra thank you to them for all they have done for us.

There’s many people that sacrificed their lives to help all of our daily lives better.

I believe in an America where everybody respects our veterans. They fought and sacrificed their lives for us so we could have freedom. We could have our rights, freedom of speech, and they have improved our equality. A military veteran is someone who served honorably in one of the branches of US Military. “What is a veteran? A ‘veteran’ - whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve

    “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.
