Who are veterans? What have they done that is so important to our country? Veterans are men and women who have fought in war and severed our country. One word can describe why they are important, freedom. Have you ever wondered why veterans and soldiers wear their army suits everywhere? They are showing us that they severed our country and defended our freedom. We, the people of the United States, would not be present if we did not have soldiers protecting our nation. Even though war, in some critics mind, is not the moral or appropriate way to handle some situations, our soldiers are there for a reason, they are defending our freedom, representing our nation, and give men/women, who are interested in joining the army or those willing to listen, …show more content…
Why one would put someone else family above their own? When I put more thought into these questions, I realize that veterans fought to keep their family. They would put their life on the line for their family’s freedom. Veterans battled to protect our nation’s family. When you think about how many men and women have and are fighting for you, for our freedom, you begin to appreciate and value their service and pray for those who have died trying. In my mind, veterans are the most selflessness people you could ever know. They put you and our country before themselves. Veterans represent our nation as a whole. They symbolize people of all beliefs and values, coming together and standing as one. Veterans have a profound certainty that our country is worth the fight. These men and women signify all we, as a nation, battle to defend, and everything we cherish in life. When these veterans stepped on the battlefield, they are saying that they value our country more than their lives and are willing to die for it. We honor and pledge to these men and women every day for keeping our country “the home of the brave and the land of the
Our veterans helped make our country the best country, which is known for fact.Today, because of our veterans I’m proud to say that every citizen has the right to speak and share their voice no matter what their race is. In some countries, there are still racial conflicts and all races.I am also proud to say that every child in America,no matter what their race is, they can have a free education. Most children in other countries are not allowed to go to school because they can’t afford it instead, they go to work
Americans are defined by the respect they have for their country and its government, in taking advantage of their freedoms and rights that they gain by showing respect through allegiance, pride, and loyalty.
When you look into veterans eyes, you can see several things that are important. The pride shines through, the pride of serving ones country, and the dedication to protect other peoples freedom even it if requires paying the ultimate price. These men and women give their lives to give us our freedom. As a one of the many individuals that they are protecting it is vital that we see that pride and appreciate where it comes from.
America is the land of opportunity and the land of second chances. People come to America to live a better life, but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. When Veterans come back home, all they want is a second chance at life again. They want to come back and be able to start from where they left off. But the government has done very little to help these veterans. The government believes they have done enough with the programs they have created, but it hasn’t had much of a change. The purpose of this essay is to discuss my opinion and what I know about this issue, to benefit The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, who are my intended audience. If the government were to put a lot of effort, like they do for pointless issues, there wouldn’t be many struggling veterans. If the government does more to improve every aspect of the reintegration process of veterans, so many benefits would come out of this action. There are a couple of reasons for why we should work toward improving veterans lives. First, there would possibly be a decrease in the veteran suicide levels and a decrease in the substance abuse aspect. Second, less veterans and families will have to worry about living and struggling with mental illnesses. Third, by improving the economical aspect for these veterans, more will find jobs and less will end up on the street homeless. And lastly, the reintegration process won’t be as hard for these veterans, and they will be able to resume a normal life. This essay is not meant to offend in any way, its purpose is to provide a new perspective over this issue, to cause a change for the better.
I believe that veterans are our nation’s bravest citizens. I also harbor a special adoration for them because my brother is in the Army and he has already served one tour in Iraq, and is currently on his second at the age of nineteen. My family is either very lucky or very blessed because my brother has yet to be injured in active duty. One day, I hope to join the Air Force and, in turn, become a veteran, as well. Veterans can remind us just how horrible war is, and, hopefully, prevent more wars in the future. Veterans have sacrificed so much so that we may have our rights, our leisures, our hopes, our dreams, and, most of all, our freedom. Everyone should honor the veterans of our nation at all times, not just on holidays like Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day during which we are constantly reminded of our forefathers whom gave their lives and so much more for our country. Many of us take things like going for a walk in the park, hanging out with friends, or going to the church of our choice for granted. I think we all need to take a step back and really look at the situations other countries are in right now and the dealings that they are going through. Then maybe we can look at our own country and really see what we have that others don’t, and consider all the lives, limbs, labors, and loves lost for every single aspect of freedom that we have. Our own men, women, and, at times, children have been sacrificed to feed the mouth of the beast that is poverty, oppression, depression, hunger, violence, and greed.
Veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder need to receive better care, because post traumatic stress disorder is curable, damages relationships, and veterans made many dramatic sacrifices. The health care for veterans needs to be more easily accessible.
Veterans day means a day for us to thank the ones who have served in the military and war. Sacrificing every moment of their lives to defend our country. The Veterans have a significant importance everywhere. Whatever the reason is for them serving our country we should appreciate them for all their work. Veterans day was created because World War I ended . Fighting and wars did not end and are still going on and there are still Veterans out here today. Veterans day is a day to celebrate ones who were in war. Not to be confused with Memorial day , memorial day is when we celebrate the ones who died serving. People today in our society don’t take in consider the ones protecting us every single day. Who do you think fights for us and our country.
“Serving those who have served” (About Disabled American Veterans 1). This is the mission statement of the DAV, or the Disabled American Veterans. The DAV helps thousands of disabled American veterans in their life after war.
Without them, our nation would not have been protected. They put their lives on the line for you and me and Cruz wants to continue building on their progress by protecting our nation by fighting the enemy. Cruz also believes that we should honor our veterans for the work and dedication they showed. When Ted Cruz was the senator he served on the Armed Service Committee, which is a group that works to give veterans the care they disserve (Troops and Veterans). “Sen. Cruz sponsored a provision to expand Purple Heart eligibility to members of the armed forces who have been killed or wounded in an attack inspired or motivated by a foreign terrorist organization, as was tragically the case in the 9-11 attack and the 2009 Fort Hood shooting” (Troops and Veterans). While others might think it is unnecessary and a waste of time, Cruz loves his people and believes that nothing should go unnoticed (Troops and Veterans). When people tried to remove the Mojave Desert Veteran’s Memorial Cross, Ted Cruz went to court to protect this monument that is so special to many veterans (TED CRUZ IN
The purpose of Veterans Day is to honor veterans who have served and sacrificed for our nation. Nevertheless, nobody knows what veterans do or how they feel after separating from the military.
Growing up I always had to deal with the fact that my father was involved in the military. My father was deployed twice: once in Germany, and later to Kuwait. I was only four years old when he first traveled and almost every day I asked where dad was. The second time I was fourteen, and I was devastated that my best friend wasn’t going to be home for a year. Both times he left, it was awful for my mom, my brother, and me because he was the one person that kept us together as a family and once he was gone we were just broken. A military family goes through more than a regular family does in a year. Those veterans have families, how do people think they feel. Children who live in a military family have a higher risk of depression, anxiety, and other mental issues. Although many people believe that we should send our soldiers overseas to keep our country safe, there is no reason why our
Veterans are very important to our nation. They love their country and fought for the things they believed in. The veterans have given us peace today and our nation is what rests on their shoulders.
One of the most serious problems facing all veterans today is the lack of proper healthcare. Soldiers, sailors and airmen are leaving active duty without having proper healthcare to cover their physical or mental injuries. The department responsible for veteran’s healthcare is the Department of Veterans Affairs. (VA) According to The department of Veterans Affairs website, “The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a government-run military veteran benefit system with Cabinet-level status. It is responsible for administering programs of veterans’ benefits for veterans, their families, and survivors. The benefits provided include disability compensation, pension, education, home loans, life insurance, vocational rehabilitation, survivors’ benefits, medical benefits and burial benefits. It is administered by the United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs.” The VA, who was formerly called the Veterans Administration, was established 21 July 1930, to consolidate and coordinate government activities affecting war veterans. The VA encompassed the functions of the former U.S. Veterans' Bureau, the Bureau of Pensions of the Interior Department and the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. On 25 October 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation creating a new federal Cabinet-level Department of Veterans Affairs to replace the Veterans Administration effective 15 March 1989 (V.A.)
The veterans act as the skin protecting our organs and anything else from falling out, altogether it forms the human. Throughout the human's life there are physical injuries and emotional pain from the wars in our country and outside our country we decided to participate in.Also humans aren’t perfect they make mistakes, but this human is pretty darn close because everyone else wants to be like this human. In America, Veterans Day annually falls on November 11 thanking the Veterans are thanked for their services of the USA. The veterans have made many sacrifices like being away from their families, risking their safety of their lives and their mental wellness to protect ours, the skin has also sacrificed
America has people willing to serve in the Armed Forces to protect my freedom. Veterans are people that protect you. They served in the Armed Force for an extended amount of time. Without veterans, we probably would not even have our ten amendments.
