Veteran's Day Forever Veterans. We can't begin to know what they've been through: the struggles, separations, and sacrifices. For that matter, it would be utterly impossible for us, civilians who have never experienced war, to even attempt to fully thank them for all they have done. However, even the smallest act of gratitude can mean so much to a veteran. With tiny steps of showing our thankfulness and appreciation, we can assure that our veterans are kept in our hearts forever. Often times we forget how important their sacrifice is to the well-being of our country. We take for granted our freedom, liberty, and justice, which are all due to what they have done. But not on Veteran's Day. Still, we must remember what Congressman Randy Neugebauer once expressed, "While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms." …show more content…
It is not about the war or the violence in this imperfect world. On this day, we are to show our appreciation for the people who risk their lives for their beloved country. Most of us can't even imagine what profound sacrifices they make to protect our freedom. Our everyday lives and normal routines would be greatly disturbed constantly if it weren't for them. That is why we owe so much to them. It is our job to make sure that not a single one of our much appreciated veterans ever feels like what they did made no impact. They put their lives on the line for us to keep us safe and to give us opportunities. Think about the differences between
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
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.
They use medication and alcohol for sleeping because they obsess that enemies are coming, they need more consciousness to fight back.
America’s veterans should be honored because they have suffered through so many hardships that others could not and have not survived, and they did it for their country that they loved and still love today.
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.
The hallmark of being a veteran is service and sacrifice. We meet here today to honor and pay tribute to those who have served and those who continue to serve.
Our country has fought hard in the past and in the now for the freedoms we have today. If it weren't for certain people, we would not be a free country. Who are these people? Our veterans.
"The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country” (-General George S. Patton Jr). Here within our borders we are the lucky ones, we have been blessed with the pleasure of so many brave men and women; to volunteer in the world's greatest military; and put their lives on the line for something that they believe is a moral obligation. But, think of some other countries, that have conscription (the practice of ordering people by law to serve in the armed forces) laws. We as a nation have some laws on conscription, and if you are male and above the age of 18 you have already signed the slip of paper stating that in the time of war; if our great nation re-instated the draft then there is a great chance you will be serving on the frontline of the next Great War. This brings me to my first topic of this page, is it ethical to have a draft? My second topic that I will discuss will be on if it is morally acceptable to "draft dodge". What I mean on the second topic is if you have a right; that morally allows you to not go fight in the war.
The U.S. military is a strong force and body that protects and serves the American people. Many people support the military and some even disagree with it. What people forget is that without a military the U.S. would be totally over run by foreign countries claiming ground. The military also helps with the nation’s economy boosting the balance of money in the works. Families have trouble with members who serve since there is always chance that they never return but it is because of their service that we are still a free country. Even though the military causes pain to families when a loved one is lost, the U.S. needs a military because with a military the economy increases and that without a military we would be invaded by a dictator or foreign
The United States has thousands of veterans and many of them suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The care for veterans must be improved. Veteran care needs to be improved because they are not getting the proper care that they need, not receiving credit for their service, and they were willing to pay the ultimate price for freedom, yet people will not pay the price of time to help them.
Veteran’s day is a reflection of the peace and the warrior culture in the United States. While peace cultures strive for tolerance and positive peace, warrior cultures focus on aggression and domination and this Day demonstrates how both cultures are engrained in the American society.
The dictionary says a veteran is “a person that has served in the military” but I think there is more to being a Veteran than just serving. I would know, my dad is a Veteran. Veterans like my dad risk their lives so we can have our freedom and that is what makes them heroes. They are so dedicated they are willing to leave their homes, families, and hobbies just to secure our freedom and protection.
''Up next, we will have General Deborah Godard recite a few words about her experience serving Canada in the Afghanistan War. Daughter of Captains Bill and Nichola Godard, General Godard was the one of the few brave women amongst several men that risked her life for our nation's freedom.''
Commemoration is a time to reflect on the fact that our entire way of life is predicated on the sacrifices and courage of those that came before us and fought for our respective nations. It takes more courage than most of us can imagine risking ones life for an intangible goal such as victory for a nation. It has long been held that we should honour our past soldiers, to that honour I say that we should add thanks and deference.
They risk their lives each and every day on duty to preserve the principles in which this country was founded. The selflessness of these men and women stem from the legacy left behind by the Veterans since the beginning of the United States Military. Stories passed down from generation to generation remind us of the hardships Veterans have gone through. We are reminded of the lives we lost, of those who gave their life protecting our nation. We are reminded of the oppression and fear people experience in other parts of the world.
