Veteran’s Day November 11 is celebrated as Veterans’ Day in honor of the men and women who laid their lives in war to maintain freedom for our nation. Veteran’s Day was at first called Armistice Day, which marked the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. The war ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year. We can learn a lot from the outstanding sacrifice that these men and women do each and every day. So for this day we do all different things to show respect and let them know that we are thankful for them.
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.
Inscriptions of names are written of each and every one of those individuals in the order they were taken from us. Honors is given to them. The pledge of allegiance is said and the flag of the United States is raised with a moment of silence Pease to pay respect for those who have lost a relative or friend or love one while in the war. Because for those people who have serve there parts in the army for helping to make the USA a better and safer place for us to live. We celebrate veterans day because, the date November 11 was originally celebrated the anniversary of the end of World War I.
HOW MUCH LONGER WILL INNOCENT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO DIE UNTIL SANCTIONS ARE LIFTED? In the year 1990 the Middle East was in a tense position after the attack of Kuwait by its Iraq neighbors and its’ President Sadaam Hussein. This was only to beginning of what turned out to be a war, which many were hurt, and many countries felt the effect as a result of this war. The Gulf War did not start until 1991 but tension was building between the world and Iraq. Iraq was left out on its own to fend off the world.
At the time the don’t ask don’t tell policy was in effect, but soldiers were still being discharged. In conclusion, I am glad that the policy got repealed and I give a lot of credit to President Obama for keeping his word during his campaign to end the don’t ask don’t tell policy. There are still credits who oppose lifting the ban, but it was the right thing to do. As long as your sexuality do not interfere with your work, I do not see why you would be banned from doing your job. Finally I want to say, God bless our men and women who proudly serve our country with such dignity and professionalism.
The tone is respectful because he states in his speech that, "The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract." In this quote Lincoln shows that he has a lot of respect towards the soldiers. The tone is optimistic because he says, "-- that we were highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain." In this quote he is optimistic because he is encouraging them that they will not lose the battle so that the soldiers that died wouldn't have died in vain. For example, Lincoln was determined that the soldiers wouldn't die in vain.
Many people in my family have served in the Armed Forces, and when I brought this case up to them, they immediately assumed I would be on the dissenting side. They felt that the flag should be highly esteemed and cherished because of all of the men, and women, who have served and died under the flag for the good and protection of the United States, regardless of the country’s problematic history. The Armed Forces fight to allow the country to become a better place, not to explicitly carry out the country’s political agenda. My grandfather, who served in the Navy during the Vietnam Conflict, agreed that people had the right to hold their own personal beliefs about the flag. However, he believes that this case is not simply about citizens disrespecting the flag, but that the case is about citizens disrespecting servicemen and servicewomen in the armed forces who place extreme value in the flag.
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.
Maybe but one thing that differs us is the Brotherhood the way of life the language the holidays overseas or the conversation with a fellow member of your platoon or just the overall way of being thankful of what we do have back home. If there was a battle that a service member will have to handle one day in their life it’s going to be the fact that the service is a temporary life style wheatear you do 1yr or 30yrs it has to end, and then the scary “real world” hits you without warning but as a veteran you will be brave and will be ready to take care of yourself your family and other veterans that might need it cause honestly even if its hard or tough the War at home is just another mission in your life and I know it’s a mission that will be
