troops who were killed in the SCUD Missile attacks. She said that chemical exposure was a big threat to her troops and some still suffer from symptoms of disorders resulting from chemical exposure. Despite the risks she says the U.S. Navy helped her accomplish great things. “There is no limit to what woman can accomplish in the service.” said Daniel. As Webster Elementary School children lined up to sing My County Tis of Thee, other children from Our lady of Malibu, Juan Cabrillo, and Point Dume schools waited patiently for their turn to honor the Veterans. Beverly Craveiro of Our lady of Malibu worked the crowds with her students. The children shook hands with the veterans and thanked them after they sang the song America’s Finest. After the performance, Master of Ceremonies Captain Vasquez joked, “If you are not pumped up now, you are in the wrong place!” “The students from Juan Cabrillo presented their peace flags in honor of the sacrifices that the men and women of the armed forces and veterans made for all of us. “We can sleep at night without worries knowing that tomorrow freedom and American values will still exist.” said Principle Dr. Herkner. The Peace Flags are wishes for world peace. Kevin and Kylie McNulty from Point Dume Elementary School recited poems to express gratitude to all who serve to protect our freedom.

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
Our nation past was, well, not always perfect. Without some of our veterans, our country wouldn’t be as free as it is. Veterans continue to make our country a free country, which also makes it a better place to live in. Veterans stood up for our country; whether the ones forced to go during the draft, or the ones who voluntarily go. Whether the cause, they were always ready to go and fight for the people’s freedom. We really do see how great these people are, I mean, they risked their life for ours to be
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.
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
People often say that freedom is not free and that price has been paid by countless brave individuals. These brave individuals are known as veterans. Veterans should be remembered, respected and honored because of their sacrifices, courage, and patriotism.
I’ve grown up with the influence of strong women in my life, a lot of which came from my sisters. One of my sisters was a member of National Honors Society and she always taught me in the ways to conduct myself like a member would. So growing up I would always try to be the best person I could be whether that means by studying my hardest, leading the way for my peers and other generations, doing good deeds for others, or building my character. I would try to tie in the values to make me as unique and individual as I could.
Serving the United States Military comes with many responsibilities as well as pressure and accountability. However, the military isn’t for everyone, but it offers so much for those who serve. One thing that must be known and dealt with is that this career could be a life threatening one, and there are many obstacles one must go through beforehand.

My first visit to the Naval Academy was on family trip while in grammar school. On this and subsequent visits, the young men and women who chose to devote their lives to country and service greatly impressed me. As a high school student, I had the good fortune to experience Academy life via my acceptance to the competitive Summer STEM program, my invitation to Candidate Visit Weekend, and my participation in the Elite Throws Sports Camp. Through these first-hand experiences, I grew in awareness and commitment to an Academy education as an opportunity to enable me to serve my country. Moreover, I am honored to be a member of a gold star family, via my uncle Senior Master Sergeant Peter Bondi, recently deceased on active duty, and to have had a grandfather who served in the National Guard. Eulogies delivered for my Uncle Peter reflected a life of service and were a source of inspiration that fueled my resolve to serve.
In celebration of Mount Alvernia’s 60th Anniversary, the Mount Alvernia Parents and Friends Support Network intend to host a function. Functions are advantageous to the local economy as they generate visitor spending, thus more income and employment possibilities (Department of State and Regional Development, 2014). Furthermore, events provide a platform for social interaction, which would ultimately strengthen the Mount Alvernia community. In addition, an anniversary celebration is an opportunity to market the school as successful and sustainable (Fossler, 2001). Therefore, the function would benefit the college.
