The Role Of Freedom And Peace In America During The Iraq War

On July 28th, 1914, the first war was brought to our world. All because of an assassination. At this time, we thought the only resolution was war and that war would save us. Among the years, we have bounced between different war periods and times where people just want peace. There is a time that we need to fight for our rights and stand up, but there is also a time where we need to stand down and just deal with what is going on. Because of our veterans, most of the world has been living in peace because our soldiers fight the wars for us and there is so much thanks in the world for that. It is so very wrong that there are veterans out there that are homeless or are even struggling to get food. Not to mention all of the medical bills because of former injuries while serving our country. There is no reason they should have to worry about the cost of an injury that happened when they were serving our

As a nation, we need to be thankful for our veterans. The men and women who join the military undergo nine weeks, or more, of boot camp. That right there is said to be the most laborious nine weeks of anyone’s life. Drill sergeants break them down both emotionally and physically, so they can improve upon them and make them stronger. Those are the people we should be thanking, the ones who fight to preserve our country’s freedom, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. Those are the fundamentals of our Constitution that those people fight to protect. However, after their service, it doesn’t seem like people know that.

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

Not many people would withstand having to go off to war knowing their life was on the line. There is much respect and gratitude inclined towards those who did and sacrificed everything they had. Our cordially veterans - the ones who fought and endured the bestial wars, the ones who knew they could fall at any moment, the ones who, despite the horror and fear

Welcome to New Haven Middle School’s Veterans Day Assembly. A lot of people think it’s just another assembly that you go to and just listen to people talk, but it’s more than just that. It’s about honoring our loved ones and the fallen ones, the ones who came back injured or scarred for life. We go to airports and gym’s where a meeting s held to welcome home our soldiers. Some kids ask their parents or someone they know about who gives us our freedom. All they have to say is someone who fights for our country. Freedom is NOT free. It may seem free because certain people are out fighting to protect us and our country. Some people throw a party or a huge welcome home gathering or make tons of signs to show their thanks. I’m sure they love it but I’m also sure all they would want is a simple thank you.

The men and women who helped shape the face of this country through their honor, legacy, and patriotism are those we call veterans. They are our dads, moms, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters; they are our family. Yet, we constantly overlook their desire and passion for this country. The gratitude that they deserve is not shown towards them, as it should be. I thank all veterans for their

    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

All of us make sacrifices, but consider the sacrifices made by veterans. How many soldiers willingly leave their worried families behind? Missing life’s experiences such as the birth of a baby or celebrating a favorite holiday impacts a veteran’s life in a way that we can hardly comprehend. Many years are spent without the comforts of their home and yet they still go out on the battlefield knowing their lives are at stake fighting to grant us our freedoms.

If it wasn’t for our nation’s veterans, we would be living in a place with no rights and no unity. I’m so grateful for our veterans

A common soldier like me will wear tattered clothes; worn-out stocking with beat-up shoes (if we’re lucky) and maybe has some kind of thin jacket (Doc B) to shield me from the frigid weather at Valley Forge. Already, soldiers have lost their toes to the biting cold, and animals are dying from the arctic weather. The food here is very limited and also very poor, it seems like we were sent out here to starve and freeze (Doc C). Our ranks are sure to dwindle from starvation, hypothermia, or food poisoning if we don’t die from disease

It is important to always remember the sacrifices that they had to make to give us the freedoms we have today. For their spouses, it is difficult to keep their existing jobs, because they have to move every few years. They have to take care of their houses, and children without his or her help. Most of the Veterans had to pack up and move months at a time. They both could be worried about dying in battle and never seeing your spouse, children, or family ever again. They also miss holidays sometimes because they are drafted in at a certain time. Another sacrifice is their minds, some soldiers come back with post traumatic stress disorder because of what they had to go through. We should thank them for all the sacrifices they both make, because their sacrifices help us, and they should be honored for

The American veterans did a lot for us. If it wasn’t for them we wouldn't be able to do the things we want to do. So appreciate those who serve for us. Think of this as a gift. If you open a gift you are happy. Just like when the Veterans serve for us we are happy. Also when you open the gift you are thankful. Just like when you found out the Veterans served for us you were thankful.

Despite the fact that only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans,our heroes,. I just want to say thank you for the sacrifices you and your families are making. For putting your lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy and for dedicating your lives to our country. Every veteran deserves to be recognized for their

Every year since 1919 on November 11th, America celebrates Veterans Day. However, do our people truly understand the meaning behind putting on that army camouflage uniform. Now, the term hero is used very loosely and it is losing its meaning throughout the nation. In any case, it is important to realize the actual reasoning behind why our veterans are America’s heroes.

How Americans feel when it’s Veteran’s Day is a feeling of elation. We know what these people have done, and it’s why we are where we are today. We have ceremonies to commemorate these brave souls, we have hours of dedicated programming broadcast on television and radios, all for them. Everything that goes on during Veteran’s Day is a reminder of what they have done. Every American knows that war can be brutal, it is never pleasant, it has consequences and some of those consequences can never go away. There is a chance many veterans have suffered great losses for what they did for our country, if you ask me I think they deserve a little credit. To think there are people so brave as to lose limbs, or even functions, for our country and for you and me? Of course that deserves credit, it deserves more than any of us can actually give because we owe our lives to these people! These veterans have fought, won, lost, everything possible just so you and me could be standing where we are right
