Why Are Out Veterans Important

Improved Essays
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. Ever since the Revolutionary war we have had veterans fighting for our rights of independence saying that we want to be free and not controlled. That people should be able to say what they want to say without hesitation. Another war that people where in was the north V.S the south. …show more content…
Many people in the south denied this though because of lack of farming afterward. They wanted people to fight for keeping slavery and many people died fighting over others rights to freedom. Another war that came upon us was on September 11, 2001 when two planes dove into the World trade center. Many people died that day and the US automatically took action against the terrists. This cause many people to want to join the army to fight for the people who had died on that day. Now if we look to the present that the veterans gave us we wouldn’t be the country that we are today we may be still ruled by Britain or still have people in slavery, but people are still standing up for us even today . children today are looking up to those people as hero and sometimes they will want to fallow the footsteps of their family members hoping to be as brave as they are and fight for their country and people that they love because they know that they are helping everyone. Now people don’t realize but when veterans come home everything has changed for them and they miss many things. They could miss the day that their child is born or they may lose contact with old friends that they had. Now what can veterans

    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.…

    The veteran's service is an amazing program and every veteran who enters will be there until they die or are old enough to retire. Back in the Vietnam war some veterans were not thanked because they didn’t win the war. When people go up to a veteran and say thank you for your service they try holding back the tears because people didn’t appreciate them when they lost. Although the people also didn’t seem to care that they tried there hardest and lost about 530,000 men. This is why we need to keep lincoln's promise.…

    Veterans day is coming up, and to honor you with I wanted to write a letter showing my thanks to them. “Veterans Day, which pays tribute to all veterans, living or dead, differs from Memorial Day during which we pay tribute to those who lost their lives in combat.” Veterans are people who work for the military protecting the United States from other countries. Veterans day began after WW1 to honor those who lost their lives during the war (the war ended on november 11 that’s veterans day). From then on every day they still risk their lives protecting our country and our way of life.…

    Today, less than one percent of the population of the United States of America puts on an uniform to protect the liberties of 99 percent of the rest of the population and just over 8 percent of the population of all living Americans are veterans. If we gaze into the eyes of a veteran we can see the love for their country, strength for their families and a courage that is indefinable. Their self-determination often provokes us to ask ourselves,"For their selfless service and willing sacrifice for their nation, what do veterans need and deserve to reestablish themselves in the society?" Indeed Abraham Lincoln, America's 16th president, formally recognized the importance of veterans with his second inaugural speech and famous quote,"To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan." President Lincoln's promise to care for those who shall have borne the battle ought to be one of the greatest privileges of an American citizen.…
