Honoring American Veterans
Conflicts, debates, war-it's all just politics. But is it really just politics? In the world and society that we live in today, there is not a such thing as just politics. Within politics, there are moral issues involved, and there are differentiations in opinions and views on countless topics between politicians and American citizens themselves. Each individual is titled to their own beliefs, but when everyone must come to an agreement, it may escalate to the infringement of many freedoms that many may value. But the one thing that keeps our American country stable in the sense of our freedoms and international politics is our honorable American soldiers.
Not many understand the importance of the roles that these American soldiers take responsibility of. It's truly saddening to see the uneducated not appreciate, honor, and thank our soldiers. An abundance of American citizens aren't educated or knowledged in American and International governmental and/or political affairs. With the lack of knowledge in this controversial topic, how are they to understand the important roles of our soldiers? We, as a nation, must help each other in understanding our country and the role of our soldiers. In returned favor for them, we must make it our duty, as they make it their duty to serve for us, to serve for these men and women by honoring and celebrating them.
Our great American country is famously known as the "land of the free, home of the brave." The great states, the great regions, and the great nation that make up our great country wouldn't be so great if it wasn't for the brave men of our country. The Great America is great due to the positive affects brought by the courageous men who live and breathe to fight for our freedom. Not only are there brave men who fight for our country, but there is an increasing percentage of women who fight as well. Thanks to these men and women do we have the rights and privileges that we have today.
These men and women leave their

    Here's a news flash: No soldier gives his life. That's not the way it works. Most soldiers who make a conscious decision to place themselves in harm's way do it to protect their buddies. They do it because of the bonds of friendship - and it goes so much deeper than friendship.…

    It is important to keep honoring our veterans because they have sacrificed so much for this country. Also we honor them because we need to tell them how appreciative we are of their dutiful service to our country. Even the president honors our veterans. Each year the president or one of his representatives lays a wreath on The Tomb of The Unknown Soldiers in the Arlington Cemetery every Veterans Day to honor those veterans. Even though the first unknown soldier was laid to rest there on Armistice day on the year of 1921 this ceremony still continues. This is one way that shows just how important honoring our veterans…

    The Civil War was a huge aspect in America’s history. This could seem quite obvious but it did indeed leave a very large footprint in the plan for America. If it weren’t for the Civil War our nation could possibly be split as of today. Fortunately, America is only one nation, under God, to quote Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address. During the Civil War there were many contributors, one of the many just so happened to be women. Women in general did a massive amount of help during this war. It is depressing to look back now and notice the little thanks they received. Therefore looking back we are sure to recognize those women and how they contributed. Women had large roles and many different jobs and talents put to use in the Civil War.…

    They call the United States of America the land of equal opportunity, where hope is a given and all you have to do is dream. However this was not the case for many people, such as the women in the United States around the late 1860 through the 1920s, when our beautiful country began opening its doors. As a matter of fact when we look back at our history, during that time period, it seems that women weren’t even allowed to dream. They would live their lives according to the rules and standards that society had set for them. From childhood they were only taught how to cook and clean, how to keep a house in order, and how to care for children. Education wasn’t an option and they were often shamed if they spoke out; in other words their opinions were meaningless. It seems that the female gender has come a long way in history, but it took many brave women to stand up and take radical steps to change the future for the upcoming generations. For women in the 1860s through the 1920s, the American Dream of equal treatment and the right to vote seemed to be a myth due to the strong male opposition throughout the workforce, the political field, and even the home; however, all the efforts that the brave women who spoke out and worked towards equality and suffrage soon paid off to make their dream a reality through the right to keep and earn profit from their working land and the 19th amendment being added to the Constitution.…

    A soldier did not start serving his or her country when he or she signed up for the military. The president, congressman, the senate, or even the average electrician did not start serving their country when they stepped up to office or started working on our power lines. These people started on their first day of school even if it meant getting up at five o'clock in the morning and not returning home until four in the afternoon. Now that these people have an education they can benefit from it and go to work everyday. The American soldier goes to the front line to protect and serve their country. The politician steps into office to manage and make decisions that most people would not want to make. The plumbers, electricians, road workers, and even the people working at McDonalds do what they do to serve each other and others. An American does this to show that he or she is proud of their country and proud to serve it. They are proud to serve their country because people before them have done the same thing to keep America strong and running.…
