They do get a bunch of respect though. They risk their own lives in order for us to have all the rights and privileges that we take for granted each and every day. Without the veterans we wouldn’t be off too well. We would end up like other countries- controlled and not able to make individual decisions. People like this should be recognize and not ignored.
I believe that if you're so terrible to a person to make them want to commit suicide then you are the coward. No matter your opinion, I'm sure everyone can agree that Olaudah made courageous decisions regarding his sense of life. Throughout this gruesome trip, some slaves
Introduction Most of us realize the amount of sacrifice the men and women of the armed services give in order to support our country. The time spent away from their families, the continuous deployments to foreign countries (at times third world countries), risking their lives as they fight our country’s wars, are all sacrifices made by these service men and women for being part of our country’s voluntary service. Our government especially realizes what a person forgoes to support the nation, and taking these factors as well as others into consideration they compensate these men and women somewhat appropriately. Of course there is not a price that can be offered for endangering one’s life, but the men and women of the armed services understand this and feel somewhat comfortable with the compensation they receive plus they are doing something they volunteered to do. A military compensation plan is not only appropriate because of the sacrifices these men and women make on a day-to-day basis, but also because these men and women are of real value to the civilian sector.
We all know it and have all heard it said that teachers, police officers, and firefighters work extremely hard every day and are the biggest influences in the community, so they deserve to get paid more or as much as athletes do. I admit that I totally agree with that statement. I don’t think that teachers, officers, and firefighters should get paid any less than athletes do. I think that both sides have different roles in the world today, and both of those roles are extremely influential and
Walking Wrecking Balls Throughout the history of mankind, heroes, are the reason why positive change has had an uprising in our constantly developing world. They are what make the world a better place, and to be a hero, sacrifices have to be made that no one else would make, just because of the natural, inner want and need possessed to help others and be successful in their own lives as well. Just because someone is considered a hero, doesn't mean that person is perfect in all aspects. In fact, most people that end up becoming a great hero or idol, end up facing major adversity or hardship on their way to achieving success. They fight their own battles to become stronger and to ultimately be an example for how to win the actual game of life.
I appreciate America's veterans because they fought in our wars. I appreciate that because they were risking their lives for America. Millions of Americans are serving in the military to stand up and keep our country safe from attacks against our country. They sacrifice their freedoms to defend ours. They have to leave their families for long periods of time to be in war and combat.
He is dedicated to the tasks he’s given and is strong and courageous when knocked down. Not only is he a role model towards his friends, but to all others who surround him. He made a huge sacrifice knowing that his actions would benefit and impact himself and others in a significant way. This character cares about the treatment of himself and others and because of his actions, he was able to die a free man. All of these attributes demonstrated in the movie, are why I think Piet reflects the ideals of a ‘Global Citizen’.
All of this building up to the fact that we use and waste a lot of stuff that we “need” to fulfill our happiness. We use material goods to fill a void, being that we don’t want to appreciate what we have around us, instead we show this through what we buy. In the story Burgess makes the point that we don’t appreciate the finer things, because we’re spoiled. We haven’t had someone invade the USA, or have had to sacrifice significantly since the Great Depression. While many lost their jobs, the nation was brought together for a common goal and this marked a high point in our nation as we all ignored our differences to achieve something great.
But despite all these obligations, they felt that freedom of their nation was most important and they did not hesitate to lay their lives down for that cause. We can learn a lot from the remarkable sacrifice that these exemplary men and women left for us to follow. We can read and study many of the World War accounts of the bravery that these soldiers exhibited in war. There are also many video and film documentaries of the World War years from which we can learn quite a lot about the things that happened during these wars. As a mark of respect, we can observe a minute of silence at 11 a.m. on November 11 every year.
Veteran’s Day Bravery, courage, patriotism, and sacrifice. These are the reasons we acknowledge our veterans. A veteran is a man or a women who have served, and continue serving everyday. We truly owe everything to our veterans. They risk their lives to fight for our country; they risk never getting to see their families again.
