People who have given their lives for a cause grater than themselves should always be commemorated. More should always be done for these people but I don’t believe the efforts from soldiers on the Western Front in the First World War have been overlooked. There are monuments and ceremonies all over the world recognizing the huge sacrifice that has been made by these remarkable individuals.…
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…
deserve to receive this unbearable loss? It makes others wonder is it worth all of the suffering in this war? How many of our brothers and sisters have to pass before we realize the true negatives of the war? Close relatives and friends of these fallen soldiers may be so hurt from such a horrific loss that they are never able to fully recover. Making not only the dead soldiers victim, but also the family and friends of the soldier. Some of the victims close friends and family may never fully recover from a loss of this magnitude. Making it harder yet on the family creating not only an emotional problem but it physical problem due to depression and other side effects. For those lucky enough to return to their families, their recovery is…
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…
Veterans are considered heroes because of what they did for our country,they sacrificed their lives for our freedom.They are also considered heroes for all of their bravery.I know some veterans don't consider themselves as heroes because of what they go through but as long as you fight for someone's freedom that is a hero.Veterans are just like us,they have families and friends that care about them but they don't see them everyday so they don't have a say you love them and that can be hard for most people and that is why you should never take love or people for granted so you shpould take the time out of your day to tell someone that you love them.…
Acknowledging your veterans is the least you can do for these wonderful people. Most people know that they are safe here in America and have freedom because of the sacrifices veterans have made. You just need to think about all the time they have given up in their lives to fight for you and your country. A lot of people assume that freedom is just free in America and they really shouldn’t. When you see a veteran, you should really stop and take the time to thank him or her for their military…

Walking up to a veteran and saying thankyou is a natural instinct, but is it no problem to the veterans you say it to. To start off, “I thanked him for his service. “No problem” he said.”(Garth) Mr.Garth a retired marine was thanked but he said it was no problem- what gives. It is something that many veterans call “thank you for your service phenomenon”, (Freedman). These veterans find it their duty to serve and the people thanking them of no idea what they do over there. They possibly are killing people and we are thanking them for that. Furthermore, when saying thank you do the people saying it really mean it. Veterans hear that many of times daily and it starts to get boring. It’s the same old thing over and over that's why some veterans say no problem because they are ignoring you because it becomes bland. They…
