Veterans Day isn’t about relaxing at home or hanging with friends. Instead, it’s about remembering those who served in the war and died, and honoring the military soldiers. It first started on November 11, 1919. Just one American Veteran is still alive today: 108-year-old Frank Buckles. In order to recognize Veterans Day, the Dublin society should host a community walk, wear white, and bring in real soldiers to talk.…
Imagine getting off the plane in the U.S. after fighting for 11 years in Iraq and dozens of people line the hallway and wave American flags to honor all the soldiers that returned from fighting. That is what it is like for most American troops that come back from fighting, but once they get their life moving from the battlefield they realize that the government that they fought for was not helping them after the fight. No matter how much the general public supports them it still will not help when going down the road. Even though some live life well and easy does not mean they all do. The government does not do enough for the veterans.…
Why Are Veterans Considered Heros?If you were wondering that question i will try to slove your question.They are heroic figures like Batman and Superwoman they save us from villains. They fight for our freedom to be able to sit in class and get educated. They risk their life every day to help us out they dont have to but they chose to. They save you from being slaves all you need to do is pay respect to them. Veterans already have there education they help you so.…
In 1918, President Wilson established November 11 as a day to show honor and thankfulness for those who have risked their lives for our country. This day was significant because it was "The War to end all Wars,” World War I. This day was mainly set aside to show pride to our veterans of World War I. In 1938, Armistice Day, Veterans Day original name, became a legal holiday. In 1945 just after World War II ended, congress changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Since then, Veterans Day was created to show pride to American Veterans of every war, with the oddity of a few years in which it was celebrated every year on a Monday, November 11th.…
It is very important to keep honoring our veterans because if they didn’t fight for our country we would still be ruled by England or any other country that tried to fight us. Veterans play a big role in shaping our country and it is our job to recognize that. It takes a lot of tears and heartbreak to end a war, like WWI that ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, and those who survived and died are worthy of the recognition. If you have never talked to a veteran about their experiences in war, try it sometime and you might see how valuable they were in the making of the U.S. I think that it was smart that Dwight D. Eisenhower changed it from Armistice Day to Veterans Day because like I said it is very important to keep…
Veteran’s Day is a time when we honor those who have given the highest level of service to our country. Serving in the military is not an easy thing to do. But throughout history, men and women have heard the nation’s call and donned the uniforms of the Armed Forces. They gave up comforts so that we can live in freedom. They left their families to protect ours.…
Veterans day was originally called Armistice Day. It was established in November 11, 1918 when the Germans signed a peace treaty to end the First World War. President Woodrow Wilson announced Armistice Day in 1919. Congress in 1926 preserved this holiday to be celebrated on November 11th to celebrate the US flags. An act was approved in 1938 to celebrate world peace on November 11th every year. Then in 1953 a Kansas shoe store owner suggested to replace Armistice Day with All Veterans Day. Dwight Eisenhower made this bill into a law so that Armistice day would officially become Veterans Day. But then from 1971 to 1978 it was to be celebrated on every fourth Monday in October. Then it was reverted to be celebrate on the original date on November…
become a person of value”. ~Albert Einstein.Veterans are not just men and women who went to war. Veterans are the cause, we live in a safe country they are the cause, we walk on the sidewalk laughing and enjoying what life brings us. But the question in my mind is we laugh, play, and learn, what about Veterans they don’t laugh, they cry they don’t play they fight they don’t learn they die. We are not grateful we don’t respect the lives we live in every day. But that's not the point, we don’t even remember the reason we laugh, play and learn, if I were to tell you the number of people who died for us to have a bright future those numbers won’t matter the thoughts will. When I think about Veterans day I think about people who came back from the war and live a happy life, but I was wrong after learning the truth. Veterans day was the day we respect what we lose but even more we respect what we gained. That is what Veterans day means to me.…
What is the first thing that goes though your mind when you hear the words Memorial Day? What does it mean to you? What symbolization does it hold in you? Ladies and gentlemen, sadly enough, the true meaning of Memorial Day has been seemingly lost by the majority of Americans today. Many confuse this day for Veterans Day or even Armed Forces Day. Although it is highly appropriate to honor all our veterans, living and dead, and to recognize their immeasurable contributions to our country, this is not the true meaning of Memorial Day. When I asked you what the day means to you what is symbolized to you, what went through you mind? Did you simply think of it as another federal holiday? A 3-day weekend? The beginning of the 100 days of Summer a BBQ? Or did you think of a mother…
Veterans were sent to other countries that they knew nothing about and had to learn so many new things. Since they are usually there for a long period of time, they had to learn the ways of those countries. They have sacrificed months to years at a time without seeing their children or families. Sometimes they did get to go home on leave, after being gone for over…
Veterans are people that is very special. Veterans are considered heroes because they are known for fighting in war. + Being retired. Veterans day is important because it tells them how much they are appreciated, also, it helps them know how much they are appreciated. I want to take time in, to thank all of the veterans for their hard work, to get us where we are now, and to save us from where we could have been if it wasn’t for you all. It is very generous to know that we are being thought about. Thank you.…

I think American veterans should be honored for several key reasons. The first and foremost reason is that these brave men and women risked ther lives for the freedom of the United States, or even for the freedom of a country half way around the world, which they knew nothing about. Either way these soilders fought for freedom, and each one should be honored one way or another. Another reason veterans should be commended is because we never want to repeat the time when Vietnam war veterans came back to the states. They were treated terribly. They were spit on, objects were thrown at them, they were denied of jobs by people who resented the war, etc. Yet another reason is that these people fight so the rest of us don't have to. These people also keep the wars over seas, so us citizens can sleep safely at night. Also, some soilders see some really traumatizing things. Either seeing their buddies die right in front of them. Anyone who has seen Saving Private Ryan has a pretty good idea of what some soilders witness.…
