What Veteran's Day Means to Me
“What
Veteran’s Day mean to Me”
“Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to 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.
To me,Veterans day is a day we look down on what we lost. A veteran is a person who served in war. Sometimes veterans make it back
alive, but not fully alive, they might have arms or legs torn off. A veteran doesn’t get a lot of money. They fight for a cause and we are their cause. They made the ultimate sacrifice for me, you and everyone in this country. I read a story about a Veteran he was on a boat waving bye to his daughter and wife,as he entered the battlefield he was shot in the arm. He needed aid, but didn’t get it. The following day he died saving 12 soldiers, but he also cried about the fact he never saw his daughter grow up. Then his daughter joined in his place carrying his pride and our respect. Veterans make the sacrifice and it our job to make sure that sacrifice doesn't go in vain.
To me Veterans day means to honor the people who gave their lives to protect ours. “If you want to test a man give him power” once
