Why Veterans are Important to our Nation’s History and Future The Real Heroes You may know a few. They are living among us, typical citizens, silent heroes, living quietly, continuing to make the world a better place.

The future of our country depends on the soldiers we have now who will become veterans.
INTRODUCTION A. Attention Grabber & Introduction statement: Our national flag, the epitome of our democracy, we all fly it with pride. It symbolizes so many great aspects of our freedom, but yet nothing more symbolic than how it represents the ultimate sacrifice paid by our men and women in uniform. The flag reminds us of the rights, privileges, and freedoms we so dearly enjoy today. Lest we forget our service members for they paid the final costs.
To me, his paper was organized well and his conclusion topped his paper off too. The part of his conclusion that stood out to me was stated “Citizenship came from people’s love for the country and the trust in our leaders to do what was right. We are faced with some of the most difficult challenges America has seen. We cannot overcome these challenges without citizenship and social responsibility” (4-5). I thought this statement that was written was well because the last sentence of the paper shows what he was trying to explain; citizenship saving
The American Flag and the erosion of it’s meaning by popular culture The American Flag represents many things in these United States. It represents our nation as a whole. It represents the freedoms that we as American citizens enjoy every day. It represents the liberties that we hold dear. It is a symbol of freedom and a beacon of truth to the entire world.
David Taylor Hawaii Pacific University Professor Poe Anthropology – 2000 30 Nov 2013 Ainu People Ainu in the native tongue means “human” and in Japanese it is “Ezo.” They live on the island of Hokkaido, the most northern island of Japan, second largest to the main island Honshu. Could this protective archipelago surrounded by ocean preserve a civilization for over 10,000 years? Well the Ainu are arguably the direct decedents of the well published Jomon who lived throughout Japan. Jomon means corded marked, a name archeologist attributed to a civilization for the construction style of their pottery, which dates to the Neolithic revolution. The Ainu, however, maintain hunting and gathering as a primary means, agriculture is only to supplement their diet.
The loyalty, the belief, the strength that we each bring to this effort will guide America and to all those who serve it. The world will shine from the fire that we create. Kennedy encourages, if you are citizens of the world, or citizens of America, hold us to the same high standards as we hold for you. He then closes with “let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.” (107) The most memorable thing to come from this speech was Kennedy’s most famous quote, which has resonated throughout the history of America, “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”
Proud to be an American Journal “America the Beautiful.” This song, even more than “The Star-Spangled Banner,” encapsulates what I love about being an American. “Oh beautiful for spacious skies…for purple mountain’s majesties…America, America, God shed His grace on thee/And crown thy good with brotherhood/From sea to shining sea.” I’ll take that over bombs any day. An American to me is someone who is willing to fight for and defend our country, someone who will fly our flag high, without any type of indignity, someone who is honest and cares for the welfare of our people. Most of all, an American has to have pride and faith in all that our country does, participating in activities that can only improve us as a unified nation. I am
In turn making me proud to be an American who can say I was a part of American history even though it wasn’t one of the countries brightest hours. September 11, 2001 will always be the most memorable moment in my life. It changed the way I view the flag and what it means to me. A life changing day for me was life changing for this country and its people and nothing will ever change that. I proudly Pledge Allegiance to the flag and nothing will ever change that so long as we are united.
Roosevelt, he wrote “This nation takes great satisfaction and much strength from the things which have been done to make its people conscious of their individual stake in the preservation of democratic life in America. Those things have toughened the fiber of our people, have renewed their faith and strengthened their devotion to the institutions we make ready to protect” What Roosevelt meant by this is that because of all of the benefits of living in our country and the fact that people get to do what they want to do, it helps us stay together as a union and as a whole, because the people know that a brighter future is ahead of us. We are all
The results of his actions allowed for a foundation on a new way to execute operations for the future soldiers of the US Navy. Nimitz was later given the honor of signing the Japanese surrender documents on behalf of the United States aboard the battleship MISSOURI (BB-63) in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. Admiral Chester Nimitz’s greatest contribution to the United States Army was his leadership ability against the Japanese at Pearl Harbor during World War II. Naval historian Robert Love writes that Nimitz possessed "a sense of inner balance and calm that steadied those around him." During WWII he was chosen to serve as the Chief of the Bureau of Navigation in 1939, all the way until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
