Informative Speech On Military Veterans

Today, we stand as proud Americans, and use our free speech as a weapon, the government is concerned about gay marriage, abortion, and many other issues. Another issue that is usually neglected is that many of our beloved veterans are homeless, even after all that they have done for our country. This is not what this was meant for and I believe we are abusing our right of free speech. Our veterans did not fight these wars for us to bring another war out of something won. That is what we are leading to. Another war all because we don’t know how to use our valuable prizes.

The information presented from the two articles above can be supported by the article by Frueh and Stencel. Veterans ' experiences in war are likely to go beyond the instantaneous and physical effects, which may affect their entire lives. According to Frueh and Stencel, more than 2.2 million troops from the United States served in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars (10). In the two wars, more than 6,600 troops from the United States lost their lives. Frueh and Stencel assert that a substantial percentage of veterans experience enormous difficulties while in transition. The use of statistics is helpful in elevating the quality of the article. They acknowledge that veterans are faced with far-reaching challenges in their effort to adjust to civilian life. For example, health problems- such as PTSD and traumatic brain injuries- are common among veterans. However, with high jobless rates and shrinking aid programs, these aren 't the best days to be

Many combat veterans return with mental health needs that can complicate educational achievement. In addition to specific disorders such as traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder, combat veterans experience psychosocial disruption as they rapidly transition from the role from warrior to that of student.

Hello class of 2017. I have had a great year and amazing experience here at Science and Math, and I hope that you all have as well. I want to express my appreciation to you all and all the hard work you have put in. There have been many challenges that we have faced, but we have made it through and we are going to keep going. As you all may know, I am a strong advocate for mental health awareness and I am even more adamant about students overall health here at Science and Math. I have noticed that with such a strong course load, we often lose time to do the activities we enjoy and we are stressed beyond belief as a consequence. As senior senator, I would improve your sense of prosperity and security. I would reform disciplinary actions taken

I am a twenty year US Navy Veteran and have worked with the VA Health Care System since 2008 after retiring from military service. I had the privilege of meeting you personally last year at the VACO in DC and at the 2016 ACHE conference in Chicago. I always believe, from my first impression meeting with you, that you would do more for the Veterans who has given and continue to give for this country.

In December 2014, I gifted an Historical Display of my father's history of heroism that I designed to North Central High School. My father’s name was Bruce Alan Grandstaff. He was an NC graduate of 1952. The display is located in the Science Building on the landing between the 1st and 2nd floor. He was the first and only Spokane born and raised recipient of the Medal of Honor in Spokane, Washington. The display serves to educate the educators and our newest generations about my father’s history of heroism, which reflects honor on all those who serve. It also encourages public awareness that the children and family serve alongside them. It shares the many history and social science lessons gained from my father’s ultimate sacrifice for this nation (KIA 5/18/67) giving his last full measure of devotion. My father was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroism under fire. The Main Library on Joint Base Lewis-McChord was built and dedicated in his honor and the VA Medical Center of Spokane was recently named for him. He is now considered a(n) historical figure. I invited the Educators to familiar themselves with the display. We realize the influence a Village of educators has in the shaping of character; in this instance, contributing to the shaping of character of a North Central student who became Spokane's first recipient of our Nation's Highest Award for Heroism and Bravery (Newiki, n.d.). Nearly 50 years later (2013) after my father’s death, another alumnus would become a living recipient from the same high

Some of the most popular pictures are those of soldiers running up to their families right after getting off of the plane from a tour of duty, crying, and thankful that they are back home and safe. But how many of us actually care about those soldiers beyond knowing that they are home and safe? Ron Kovic’s autobiography, Born on the Fourth of July, is out to prove that going through a war has an affect beyond what most of the population sees; there are life-long effects, especially for those who come back injured and maimed. Every aspect of Ron Kovic’s life changed when he came back from the war and couldn’t move over half of his body and, for

What was interesting about this article to help one understand some of the historical perspective to how institutions are understanding how to serve student veterans, is the fact that this article highlighted the events of 9/11 and how

Since the first conflicts thousands of years ago, war has been a constant occurrence in this world. Men have risked their lives to brutally kill an enemy for some justified or unjustified reason. What portion of those men return home whole and sound? How have these men changed? Can they recover? Jim O 'Brien’s “Speaking of Courage” wants readers to pose these questions; arriving at the sad but very well existent conclusion. Through the protagonist’s Paul Berlin, actions and mindset, O 'Brien reveals that in the United States, especially after modern wars such as Vietnam, an unfair view of veterans has emerged. These beliefs do not help them cope with all the horrors they see. In modern times, even if soldiers don’t come home with physical wounds, they are still damaged inside, mentally. As a country we have to change, we must stop being indifferent and help these veterans or else the men who protect us will not be able to protect themselves.

(Waves to Witten, Warren and Boone) Thank you, Jill Stein, for your very eloquent address. (Stares at Jill) Throughout my time as a public servant I have never met a more distinguished legislator and I will truly miss you. (Pauses, turns to the Audience) My fellow Americans, when I stood on this stage nearly two decades ago, I addressed this convention for the first time. (Reflects, points toward the Audience) I asked you, the American people, to renew our government's commitment to economic justice, to inspire the fair and lasting prosperity of our nation. (Slowly raises Hand) Today, I ask you to continue that commitment, as I endorse Kyle Kulinski, the next President of the United States! (Pauses during Applause) Thanks to Kyle’s campaign,

There has never been a group of individuals in history who have been exposed to more health risks and hazards than our nation’s veterans. After completing their service and seeking healthcare through the VA, many have been subjected to extremely long wait periods and care that is not up to standards. Veterans living in rural areas have little or no access to health care through the VA since the VA facilities are limited (Project on government oversight, 2013). As a result of recent focus on the plight of veterans receiving poor care through the VA, veterans now have the option of receiving care through a non-VA facility (VA, n.d.). For this community health presentation project, information will be presented about nursing care for our veterans.

I have a group of 5th grade students visiting Cedar Valley College on Wednesday, November 30, from 11:30 to 1:30.

Yes, have our current military. Provides a safety net for all and makes sure that we have no foreign threats. Keeps our freedom and independence. It is an extension to providing a free environment for all. 81% support and like the military overall (Forbes.com)The military is there to serve and protect America as a whole as well. They defend the constitution when oath is taken (Opening phrase is, I will support & defend the Constitution (In Military.com) ) Without that, there is a sense of vulnerability and others may perceive us as weak and easily manipulated. With a force, we will have a chance against others and a way to protect our citizens. Our current constitution provides Congress the authority to shape the different military branches & their conducts, basically support the military. Without basic protection, how can we even have a slim chance of surviving? Not everyone can protect themselves like the young, old, sick, & disabled. They play a huge part in promoting political agenda, protecting economic interests, internal population control, construction, emergency services, social ceremonies, and guarding important areas. Also plays a huge role in power projection.Also function as a discrete subculture within a larger society through the development of infrastructures such as housing, schools, utilities, logistics, health/medical, law, food production, finance, & banking. NECESSITIES. Gives unfortunate a chance at a job with support and honor. 1.4 million serve (Time)

Life in the military is very strict, routine-based, and confidential. Once a person has lived and witnessed this lifestyle, it becomes a part of his or her life. Even after getting out, those past memories still stays with them as they try to live a more civilized life. James, a twenty-eight-year-old former Army soldier had just recently gotten out of the Army six months ago back in April of 2016. Through his story, I was able to find out what an ex military soldier actually felt about his career and how he is coping with a new lifestyle. The past experiences and all the stories he had to share brought him back to a reminiscence. The struggle of transitioning from military to civilian life causes obstacles due to the feeling of nostalgia of one’s past lifestyle.
