Veterans Essay

When is the Right Time to Honor our Veterans?

..........When is the right time to honor our veterans? Is the right time just on November 11, Veteran’s Day? Is there really no right or wrong time but every day the time to honor our veterans? Veterans need to be respected every day of the year for they deserve more than just a few days of honoring.

..........Veterans have risked their lives for our freedom. These brave men and women have left their families, their lives, everything they have to travel far to fight to defend the freedom of our country. So many Americans have done this, are doing this now, and will do this to defend our country. How would you like to leave your life to fight, possibly even lose your life, for other people you don’t even know and will never meet? Leaving, fighting, dying; this is not the life anyone wants to live, but fighting for freedom is what many, young and old, wish to accomplish in their lifetimes.

..........We as Americans need to celebrate our veterans more, for they not only leave their families, they sacrifice their lives. We often think of them as people who just leave our country to fight some people from other countries so we can win the war. Veterans do so much more than that. They sacrifice their lives for us. Even though we may not know them, these heroes care about us and our freedom. Veterans have seen what no man or woman ever wants to see, experienced what no man or woman ever wants to experience, but cares how every man and woman wants to care.

..........These veterans, heroes, need to be admired, thanked, and honored for their hard work, services and dedication for this country where, because of them we call this the land of the free and the home of the brave. So we say thank you to all the veterans of America for perusing their dreams of fighting for this country. I hope younger generations follow in their footsteps and realize the need of such heroes as these brave, courageous veterans.
