Honor And Recognition For Defending The Freedom Of The United States

We honor our veterans because every day they put their lives on the line to protect our country; to preserve the freedom of this great land. Without question, without hesitation, these brave people come forth every day to help defend the 350 million people

We are all familiar with a phrase that is constantly said when a solider passes next to ordinary citizens. One phrase. Five Words. “Thank you for your service”, but to soldiers a simple thank you is like being told “Good afternoon”. Millsap explains how “Thank you for your service” distinctly separates two types of people, those who wear the uniform and those who don’t. Yes, all Americans are very thankful for military soldiers but soldiers deserve more than a thanks from others after taking such great sacrifice for what we have today in our society .The phrase, constantly used, has meaning behind it from every individual but the second they become vets we neglect them. In “Veterans need more than thanks”, Joe Millsap expresses that soldiers, like himself, deserve more than “Thank you for your service” with statistical way of using his personal background

Saying “The Pledge of Allegiance” and singing “The Star Spangled Banner” makes me feel so proud to live here. Listening to veterans tell stories about wars is so interesting. You wonder how they survived and how some are still willing to go out and fight. When you see a veteran, you realize that this is your home. These veterans have given me a life most people would love to have. These veterans stood up for what they believed in. I will never meet all of them, but I will never be able to express how thankful I am. These veterans are people we pass every day, they don’t expect a thank you. We lose about 1,000 World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam veterans everyday. They should be thanked a lot

Veterans sacrificed their lives for us. A lot of those soldiers never thought they would have to actually go out and hurt someone. Throughout the battle a lot of people were really bad hurt and a lot did not make it. A lot gave there arms, and legs for us. They didn’t run away they stood their ground and gave their lives for us. The ones that got hurt or had scars will be the ones you can tell that never ran. Those are the ones that mabey saw others run, but stayed with tears but keep going. For these reasons, we should always be respectful and be glad they did it for us.

One often misinterprets the true meaning of war, believing it is only a dispute that is ended through fighting. In fact, war is more than just fighting. It is a battle where many brave souls lose their lives for protecting the country they love. Many of the rights we have today would not have been possible without the sacrifice of many brave American soldiers. Instead of living in a tranquil and prosperous nation, we could be living in a nation that resembles countries such as Africa, living under poor conditions and extreme poverty. It is imperative to take into consideration that the veterans we have today have made an impact on our nation and we owe much of our respect to them. Not many people have the courage to take on the heavy and overwhelming duty of going to war, knowing that death is imminent. Along with that, many of them have experienced traumatizing moments that have scarred them for life. Because of this, there is much appreciation and respect inclined towards

Millions of men and women have died and been severely injured fighting for our country to get one step closer to freedom. George Washington once said, “The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” This quote couldn’t be more accurate. They men and women that have served this country are braver than anyone I know and they do get the respect they deserve.

    It is important to remember how much of daily life is affected by the work of veterans. Walking on streets, going to school, eating at restaurants, and hanging out with friends all depend on the service of veterans. They may not receive the proper amount of recognition from the younger generations, but their work is appreciated. In actuality, they gained vital information that can be shared with the future generations. They have gained respect and honor for their duty for our

Military veterans sacrifice many things to defend America. Sacrificing their families, jobs, friends, and sometimes even their lives, to protect our human rights is honorable. They venture away from all of the luxuries of home to ensure that America remains the same extraordinary country that it is.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) generally enters into legal disputes related to Bill of Rights issues.

As a nation, we honor our soldiers as they risk their lives for our freedoms. A quote from John 15:13 perfectly represents what sacrifice the soldiers really make, “Greater love has no one then this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends”(John 15:13). This shows that soldiers will die for their friends because they believe that it is their way to serve their nation. This quote represents what Arlington National Cemetery is about acres and acres of tombs to honor are soldiers.

War is a subject that is deeply imbedded in the culture of the United States; this country was founded because of it. The Americans that fight in war are often referred to as heroes and held at a higher social standard than regular civilians. But Chris Hedges has a bleaker view of war and veterans. In his article “War Is Betrayal,” he explains how war is just another way for the elite to prey on the poor and gullible. He argues that rich and powerful do not go into combat, but instead they create an enticing narrative, of honor, experience, and status, that lures weak onto the battlefield. These same people after return from war with mental health problems. While Hedges includes some appeal to credibility in his article, he mainly employs emotional appeals to make his claim.

Wars are fought for freedom and independence and usually when soldiers come home we receive them with open arms ready to praise them and thank them for putting their lives on the line. If you were asked to describe a soldier, you’d probably say heroic, brave, courageous, or honorable. After the Vietnam War, parades weren’t the welcoming soldiers got; instead, they were shunned and booed at.

It is important to know the sacrifices that were made for the United States of America and to realize that these sacrifices are still being made daily. We need to be thankful for the military and display honor towards the active soldiers and veterans. They make tremendous sacrifices including risking their lives to uphold our civil liberties so that we can reside in peace and live in a free country. As we honor and respect our military, we also can show pride with our government.

In modern times, we say just thanks to those we see as heroes, whether that person just is a guy who gave you back your wallet or that person be someone who risked lots just to help others, like war veterans, firemen, or police officers. This is actually very minimal if you were to compare it to the stories told about heroes back in the days of the Arthurian legends.This is well shown off in the excerpts we read from “The acts of king Arthur and his noble knights” we see the great lengths people go to praise their heroes, through telling stories and to that of a lesser extent, fabricating the truth of what really happened in those stories. In my opinion, I think we should do this more for heroes of war and those in general who help others

In America we the people praise the military for their service. Yet, we the people also
