Veteran's Essay

When Veteran’s Should Be Honored

When is the right time to honor our veterans? The answer to this question is simple. Always. When they have risked their lives fighting for us, the least they deserve is to be respected. They receive nothing in return for sacrificing their lives so that we can live. One day out of the year is dedicated towards them. Is that all the time we have, or is it just all the time we wish to give?

Veterans; when you think of that word, a lot comes to mind. Like how they fight for our country, and are honored on Veterans Day. But have you ever thought about the fact that they have one day, out of 365 days, to be proud? Sure, they can be proud of themselves every day of the year, but they won’t be recognized by others. One day in the whole entire year is set aside for these men and women that risked their lives for us.

Think about what our lives would be like without the freedoms that we now have. Without these veterans, we would have to live every day scared of what could come hurt us. These veterans have put their lives in danger so we can live long, successful lives. They might get hurt in the course of fighting, or even die, but that doesn’t stop them from showing the love they have for their country. These people are courageous, and when entering war, these issues don’t show up in their mind.

Veteran’s Day is a day important to everyone in the United States, or it should be. We honor those who fought, and think of those who are fighting. This one day that is set aside for Veteran’s we should make the best of. They need to know that we appreciate what they do and risk for us. So always honor our veterans, because people come and people go. But the ones who are fearless will fight in the middle.
