A patriot is someone who shows bravery, and someone who is willing to risk their life for our country. Similarly in the essay “Veterans Day: Never forget their duty” by Senator John McCain, the main character Mike Christian shows his love for our country by wearing his shirt

World War II prompted U.S. leaders to pay greater attention to the oil resources of the Persian Gulf region, because in order to maintain its status as one of the global elites in oil in the case of a domestic shortage, the United States needed to secure an available foreign oil source during the war.

For at least one serviceman from Wichita, Kansas, the irony of being asked to die for a country that denied him basic civil rights was too much. James Thompson wrote to the Pittsburg Courier, and asked “Should I sacrifice to live ‘half American?” The newspaper responded by calling for a “Double V” campaign. The campaign borrowed on the well-known two-finger “V for Victory” salute from Winston Churchill. The paper proclaimed that blacks should work for the victory of democracy both at home and abroad. The Double V campaign caught on.

My life in my perspective has been extraordinary. I have been fortunate enough to travel the United States and live in various parts as well. Each environment that I have been exposed to have differed from one another. The environments in which I was raised changes When my father received his orders. then my family and I have to move to another region of the United States. with these experiences, I have been well-rounded to accommodate to my new and unfamiliar surroundings. throughout my life, I've been privileged to see the world through my own eyes instead of reading about it end books and watching it on television. for example, Honolulu, Hawaii 2 people who have never been the entire island is a resort. but in all actuality the island experiences poverty. without me having to move every so often I wouldn't have known that but the experience of knowing that there are a big world out there very productive gains.

The veteran I selected to research for this paper is Carl D. Beck. He was born in Avondale, Missouri on November 21, 1925. Mr. Beck served in the US army during WWII and the Korean war, with the 501st parachute infantry regiment. It is unclear what his rank was at the time of his service, but by the end of his military career, Mr. Beck’s rank was master Sergeant.

Local bands, home-made signs, cheers, parades and countless American flags greet the members of each Honor Flight leaving Fort Wayne, Indiana. People drive more than an hour to attend the send-off and arrival of heroes they might not even know. But it doesn’t just happen in Indiana. It’s happened in small towns and big cities all across America every month for the past several years.

“All of my family is happy and out of harm's way. They are living in Israel.” I didn’t know where this magical place called Israel was where people were happy, but I prayed there were safe and away from the war.

The family of America is one of which turmoil and familial disputes are common.For we have nearly been torn apart many times.But, there is one thing that has always pulled us back together our veterans.Our veterans have fought for us, they have fought with us and for that, I am thankful that we have men and women willing to fight and die for my family, my friends, and my country.

"I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it."

However, the government found it difficult to decide upon and state one overriding reason for going to war. Was it to oppose aggression or was it just to protect global oil supplies? Other powers were more directly concerned as consumers of Persian Gulf oil, but they were not as eager to commit military force, to risk their youth in battle and to pay for the costs of the war. Critics of President Bush continued to maintain that he was taking advantage of the issue of energy supplies in order to manipulate the U. S. public opinion in favor of war.

Everyday there seems to be new conflicts arising around the world. Today’s men and women are gaining the courage to enlist, to protect our country, from our veterans who were so brave in the past. They set a path of courage, bravery, and strength for who become

Like in many wars in history, “money,” “power,” and “oil” were the primary resources for combat and defense. However, out of the three, oil was the most important resource, causing many to seek its presence. Oil was not only for getting the engine started but also for getting the war done thoroughly and keeping the economy running. During World War II, oil became even more of a necessity putting countries at war. However, most importantly, oil became the decisive factor that determined the unfortunate and successful results of desperate, oil-seeking countries.
