World War one saw many great airmen, but there were two that stood out among the rest; Captain Edward Rickenbacker and 2nd Lieutenant Frank Luke, Jr. These men both demonstrated courage and bravery that ultimately asked them for their life. Both men received the Congressional Medal of Honor for their deeds of bravery, as well as earning the title of Ace. An Ace is someone that has shot down at least five enemy planes. Rickenbacker was nicknamed “Ace of the Aces”, while Luke was the first of only two men to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. Luke honored his country through his actions. Frank Luke Jr demonstrated superior characteristics that lead him to make a valuable contribution to World War I through bravery, skilled flying skills, and selflessness.

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.

Take the case of Chris Tschida, he administered first aid to his soldiers with only one hand and a shattered jaw while being attacked by an enemy. In the article, “Chris Tschida, Medal of Honor candidate,” Jeff Bacon explained that a grenade had begun the trouble, “...the grenade exploded and amputated Sgt. Tscihda’s left hand. Moments later the second grenade exploded inside the tank, severely wounding Sgt. Tschida and two of the other crew members. “ From the start, Tschida was struggling to keep his team and himself intact. It was up to him to make sure that anyone who was alive stayed alive, were out of the tank, and were taken care of. Jeff Bacon stated, “Knowing he and his fellow soldiers were not safe inside the tank, Sgt. Tschida pulled himself out of the hatch… Once both soldiers were safely out of the tank, Sgt. Tschida began administering first aid…” In the middle of a battle, Tschida was brave enough to attempt and save two of his men, when he could have easily assumed they were dead and leave them in the tank to die. Despite his role in the tank, Tschida went above and beyond, showcasing heroic qualities of compassion and leadership and was able to save two men in the process. To top it all off, Tschida was not rewarded for his actions and, as Jeff Bacon said, “has not received recognition or accolades for his heroism and steadfast leadership on May 15, 2005” and initially only told part of his story in a three sentence

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life for something bigger than oneself.” - Joseph Campbell. In Georgia in the United States one of the biggest attractions is Stone Mountain. The largest piece of exposed granite in the United states is also home to a carving on its north face. The carving depicts three confederate war heroes Stonewall Jackson, Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis riding their horses. To some it may feel obvious that these men deserve to be honored but to others it is less clear. All three of these men deserve to be honored as heroes for their bravery and sacrifice.
The return of soldiers from Vietnam greatly contrasted with the homecoming received by soldiers coming back from service in World War II. This contrast is due to the lack of respect of soldiers of the Vietnam Era. The American public overall was not supportive of the war and the treatment of these soldiers was reflective upon this. Regardless of the terribly traumatic experiences they had had in battle, Vietnam veterans were discriminated because of their participation in an unpopular war. This was terribly unjust, yet it occurred. Imagine going off to fight in an unknown country, thousands of miles away from home. Faced with the horrendous b...
The Wounded Warrior Project does not have any ties to national organizations because it is one itself. “We have an obligation to empower our wounded warriors to lead happy, productive lives,” said Roger Campbell of the Wounded Warrior Project. The wounded warrior project wants to honor and empower Wounded warriors that incurred an injury on or after September 11. You are also eligible for the charity if you are a family member of a wounded warrior. They offer a combat recovery program, This program helps the warriors forget what happened to them and their friends in combat. Another program that they offer is a Physical health program which helps the warriors get back to their full condition. There are also many other programs those are just a
...and their families, not all of the wounds are physical and they are not left behind in the cells upon return stateside. The Men who returned home from WWII were welcomed and more importantly celebrated by the entire nation as a whole, yet the efforts of those who returned home from Vietnam War did not reverberate as strongly within the country. The Vietnam POW was lightheartedly honored by our government, but the greater American populist struggled to separate their own personnel beliefs on their discontent with the war and unfairly placed the blame on those who had returned home after doing only what had been asked of them. The then President Nixon briefly spoke during his State of the Union speech saying along the lines that, they returned with honor and we can be proud of our courageous POWs for that they came home with their heads high, and not on their knees.

Everyone has a different definition of war, but the dictionary definition of war is a large scale, usually violent, conflict. Throughout every war, there are a huge amount of deaths on both sides. But who is to blame for the deaths of the soldiers that put their life on the line to protect our country. Tim O’Brien, the author of The Things They Carried, tells us the story of a platoon and the events they undergo. This includes stories about death, happiness, metamorphosis, and most importantly, blame. O’Brien talks about who you could blame for all the death associated with war, like those who made the war, and he then goes on saying, “when a man died, there had to be blame” (O’Brien 169). In the chapter, “In the Field,” Tim O’Brien, tells
