Veterans Thank You Speech

To the veterans that are still with us today. I want you all to know that we do the pledge of

and most for the first time to their memorial. What strikes me each time is their matter-of-fact view of what they did. These heroes were barely old enough to drive when they went off to war, yet their unbelievable acts of heroism and valor saved the world! Without fail, they respond to my words of thanks with answers like, “I just did my duty. We all did.” “Never lose faith in America.” “It was nothing. Times were tough, and everyone did their part.” Their words of advice are always priceless: “Don’t forget to be strong and good.” “Do your duty and always honor that flag.” Saying “Thank you” is the best thing to do, and yet it seems so insufficient.

Honoring Veterans, West Delaware High School participated in an assembly on Nov.11 hosted in the Handson Auditorium.The event was arranged and prepared by teacher Jorden Pollock, with seniors Nicholas Juergens and Bergan Bloomers representing the student body.

Thank you for serving. I can not tell how glad I am that you served in either the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, or the Coast Guard. From any of the wars, WWI,WWII,The Korean War, Persian Gulf War, The War On Terrorism (Afghanistan), the Iraq War, and the Texas Revolution. Thank you for serving. I cannot say how thankful I am that you made the ultimate sacrifice. I have no idea what you have been through in war. I am so grateful that you fought so we could celebrate veterans day, memorial day and all other holidays that only the U.S celebrates.

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

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

In order to maintain what our veterans have done I will encourage people to use these rights to maintain our democracy. I will continue to be grateful for these freedoms by using them. I will use these freedoms for good by using my rights for what is good for this country. I will continue to speak my mind. I will continue to be actively involved in government. I will register to vote when I am old enough and I will allow this democracy to flourish. I am forever thankful for the veterans who protected this democracy and my rights to exist in it

An older man is slumped in a rigid metal chair. He is barely visible over the multiple rows of people surrounding him. His hands clasp his seat, trying to steady the rest of his body. A few tears trail down his rough cheek. The final notes of taps echo across the gymnasium. My brain takes a while to adjust to the fact that I had just seen my grandpa cry. I had never seen this tough yet loving man break down like that. I wanted to rush over to hug and comfort him. He located me in the crowd and shook his head, smiling. This was his moment. He finally acknowledged the sacrifices he had made, and was feeling true appreciation for his service. A simple middle school Veterans Day program was what it took to break through some of the pain of his

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.

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.

Those who are veterans are those who fought in the wars and those who leaded the troops. Today we honor those who are no longer with us and those who are. We honor them because they fought and saved us from rivalries that were careless about us but our veterans stood up for us until we were safe. If you read history books about the american war you might’ve found that some men were under a lot of stress while training. But the thing that makes them special is they were the brave ones, some men didn’t meet the standards required but some men started training lifting those weights to meet those standards and try again. There are wise and caring people in the world and some times you may have to look for them because they are out

    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

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

As we look forward to a long Memorial Day weekend, may we take time to appreciate the sacrifices given and remember those who have fallen in service to our

Happy Hero’s Day to all soldiers. You always put your life in danger protecting our nation. Some of your friends and comrades have lost their lives on the line of duty. You’re brave. You continue to engage fiercely to protect us.
