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. All veterans are the same, but there are many different types of Veterans. There are war veterans, they are known as Government Issue made to go to any other country…

Just like a grain in a pile of sand many of those that need help are lost in the countless numbers of others that have served. For example, “50% of those with PTSD do not seek treatment and out of the half that seek treatment, only half of them get "minimally adequate" treatment” (Veterans and PTSD). Our eagles take flight but as soon as they injure their wings we abandon them. We turn humans into killing machines…
This may describe what our soldiers go through while protecting our American freedoms. Our soldiers sign up for this, many without thinking twice.

Many of them are diagnosed with PTSD. Approximately 1 in 15 Americans will develop symptoms of post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a traumatic life experience.…

Everyday thousands of men and women put their life on the line for America’s freedom, and everyday Americans go about their lives oblivious to the sacrifice these servicemen and their families are making. Although these servicemen are celebrated and thanked on days such as Memorial day, Veterans day, July 4, 9/11, and any other time tragedy strikes, the truth is that they should be thanked and honored everyday. A few things Americans can do to show their appreciation are donate, volunteer, and…
Veteran care is an important, growing part of America’s aging population challenges and new statistics show the chance that senior veterans and those from the Baby Boomer generation to be homeless are significantly higher than non-veterans.
