Veterans Day Research Paper
VETERANS

Veterans are those who have serve in order to honor and protect their country. As these individuals boldly practice their beliefs in freedom, they rewrite history, and we as American honor these patriots who were willing to give the ultimate sacrifice. Veterans Day is the day that we set aside to honor those who serve, but one day does not cover all the bloodshed. The day is not enough to show the appreciation which is due to the countless number of heroic men and woman. The American people should do more to show how much they appreciate their duty. Veterans make me be proud to be in a country were people would sacrifice themselves to keep our freedom and other rights that we take advantage of everyday.

    The dissipating war of Vietnam still continues to affect America today. The only thing that keeps Vietnam alive is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The memorial covers more than 58,000 American men and women who died in Vietnam fighting for our county. Lacking the glory and heroism the war memorial shows, there is a silent reminder of the losses of the American soldiers. What the war did to the United States was unspeakable and it still has an overwhelming morality.…

    It is important to keep honoring our veterans because they have sacrificed so much for this country. Also we honor them because we need to tell them how appreciative we are of their dutiful service to our country. Even the president honors our veterans. Each year the president or one of his representatives lays a wreath on The Tomb of The Unknown Soldiers in the Arlington Cemetery every Veterans Day to honor those veterans. Even though the first unknown soldier was laid to rest there on Armistice day on the year of 1921 this ceremony still continues. This is one way that shows just how important honoring our veterans…

    A legal federal holiday on Veterans Day is commemorated in United States on November 11 on annual basis. The purpose on the back end to celebrate Veterans Day is to render prestige, tribute and honor to the folks who willingly contributed in US Armed Forces. The rationale to call this day specifically a veterans day is that the armed forces are also called as “veterans”. Speaking globally, the Remembrance Day and Armistice Day coincides to forge out one day which was then called as Veterans Day in 1954. Ultimately, the crux is spurted out in the shape of Veterans Day.…

    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…

    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…

    Memorial Day was first celebrated in the years following the Civil War and was officially labelled a federal holiday in 1971. Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May, and it is celebrated to honor our veterans and remember past wars and the brave men and women that serve in the military today. Many people, young and old, visit cemeteries or memorials to honor a lost family member, or a friend. On memorial day, everyone is affected, even if they don’t know a veteran. This memorial day I joined my Boy Scout troop in setting flags on the graves of fallen soldiers and veterans who have passed away. We were honoring our community and the veteran’s service. But we could not honor those who fell many years ago in the Civil War.…

    The first thing about memorial day that I do is. Every year my family buys red poppies to honor those who have died. We buy them from the veterans and they are always wearing them to honor the people who fought with them. The reason that the red poppy is so symbolic is because of this poem “We cherish too, the Poppy red That grows on fields where valor led, It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies.” This poem shows that the red of the poppy is like the blood of those who have died and that they will still always be with us.…

    This isn’t another day for us to get out of work and go easy on. This is a day that was made to honor and thank our veterans, the ones who fought and risked their lives, and even those who gave theirs, for our freedom. I work at Burger King, a lot of retired veterans come through every day and we give each and every one of them a 20% discount, and I am probably the only one that thanks them for serving our country.…
