Trenton Walker 10/29/15 4th/5th Period Sacrifice The word sacrifice means to me is that people from the U.S.A go to a different country to save and protect other lives. They are gone for two-sixteen weeks away from their family, and Their service is a honor to serve the U.S.A for saving people's lives. If people decide to go to army they need to have muscle and discipline with a real loud voice so you talk to your Captain . If you want to join army well you better not cry because there are going to be bombs and tanks everywhere. I imagine somebody get shot right in front of me and I would watch in horror as the guy was getting shot. I think that veterans day is the most
Marquis de Lafayette once said, “People serve, but the men who die leave a shiny wake on the water of time.” This means even though the veterans died we will always remember them for the choice that they made to save are country. The people who died for our freedom, made a choice to serve even though they knew they could possibly die for our freedom. The veterans that are serving now, or the veterans that had served will be remembered for what they did so we would have freedom.
Veteran's Day is a special time. I have family or had family in the service. My Grandpa Harry Iunghuhn was in the Navy. My Grandpa Sir Schweier served in WW1. Now my cousin Emily Fay. She is in the Navy. Veteran's Day to means to honer men and women who have served for our country.
Veterans Day mean a lot to me because if it wasn’t for those who fought for us, then we wouldn’t have our freedom. I honor the brave soldiers who fought for our rights, and those
What would happen if all guns are banned within the United States? The rapid amount of mass shooting has brought this attention to the mainstream media. The argument to remove the second amendment has brought up many solutions ranging from a total outright ban to the laxer gun right laws. In the article written by Jeffrey Goldberg, “The Case for More Guns (and More Gun Control)”, makes the argument that more civilians with weapons can help either prevent and/or limit mass shootings casualties. In his argument, the number of guns in the U.S. greatly outnumbers the total population consequently an unapproachable goal. Also, interviews both a victim of a mass shooting and experts that help his argument which has many inconsistencies. The article
It is important to always remember the sacrifices that they had to make to give us the freedoms we have today. For their spouses, it is difficult to keep their existing jobs, because they have to move every few years. They have to take care of their houses, and children without his or her help. Most of the Veterans had to pack up and move months at a time. They both could be worried about dying in battle and never seeing your spouse, children, or family ever again. They also miss holidays sometimes because they are drafted in at a certain time. Another sacrifice is their minds, some soldiers come back with post traumatic stress disorder because of what they had to go through. We should thank them for all the sacrifices they both make, because their sacrifices help us, and they should be honored for
One often misinterprets the true meaning of war, believing it is only a dispute that is ended through fighting. In fact, war is more than just fighting. It is a battle where many brave souls lose their lives for protecting the country they love. Many of the rights we have today would not have been possible without the sacrifice of many brave American soldiers. Instead of living in a tranquil and prosperous nation, we could be living in a nation that resembles countries such as Africa, living under poor conditions and extreme poverty. It is imperative to take into consideration that the veterans we have today have made an impact on our nation and we owe much of our respect to them. Not many people have the courage to take on the heavy and overwhelming duty of going to war, knowing that death is imminent. Along with that, many of them have experienced traumatizing moments that have scarred them for life. Because of this, there is much appreciation and respect inclined towards
Well to begin, Veterans Day is a day to celebrate all the strong and brave U.S. veterans and victims of the World War 1, who have risked their lives for our freedom and safety today. Now on November 11, we as americans publicly celebrate this holiday on the anniversary of the end of the war. It is a time to ponder and really think about how far we have came in American History, and how much we have accomplished in a world filled with so much hate and crime. Instead of war, we fight for world peace and kindness to be spread. Though we are constantly at war with other countries, without our courageous soldiers and our fearless veterans, this country would be a different place to live in. A more cruel, unsafe, and terrifying place.
Honoring those that have served our country has been a long-standing tradition in one of the countries with the best militaries in the world. We even have an annual holiday celebrating those who have served where an entire day is dedicated to veterans in our country. But the question is often asked as to why we honor these veterans with their own day, and why they are treated with the utmost respect year round. I believe the answer varies from person to person, but the answer is clear to me.
How Americans feel when it’s Veteran’s Day is a feeling of elation. We know what these people have done, and it’s why we are where we are today. We have ceremonies to commemorate these brave souls, we have hours of dedicated programming broadcast on television and radios, all for them. Everything that goes on during Veteran’s Day is a reminder of what they have done. Every American knows that war can be brutal, it is never pleasant, it has consequences and some of those consequences can never go away. There is a chance many veterans have suffered great losses for what they did for our country, if you ask me I think they deserve a little credit. To think there are people so brave as to lose limbs, or even functions, for our country and for you and me? Of course that deserves credit, it deserves more than any of us can actually give because we owe our lives to these people! These veterans have fought, won, lost, everything possible just so you and me could be standing where we are right
From the words of Jeff Miller “The willingness of America's Veterans to Sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.” The Sacrifices that you made for our country is not nameless. You Sacrificed your lives for our freedom on this earth. Our freedom occurred from your Sacrifice. All the men dead fought for this nation. Fought for freedom and the foundation of our country, and most couldn't enjoy it. The freedom of speech,religion,and our rights. Evan for the one who don't believe, god was watching and still is watching you as you rest, and watched you as you fought, still watches all fighting in war today and will forever.
Veterans day means a lot to me but mostly it means family. Many of my family members were veterans my father many uncles even a great grandmother. As I said many of my family were veterans and if it was not for family I would not be here. But if was not for veterans I would not be here either so if it was not for them the idea of being here would sound insane. I love my family and to think a large group of my family fought so I could be here makes me love them even more. Family is great and it is great to be able to experience it but some people’s family members died in the armed forces but at least they died serving the country. My family is amazing and they have done so much for me and it is a amazing thought to think many of them even were
Sacrifices are always a tough thing for people in this world to make. Characters make sacrifices all the time throughout novels. One novel that specifically that shows characters making sacrifices was The Book Thief. The Character I choose from The Book Thief that made an important sacrifice was the character Max. An example of the sacrifice that Max made was risking his own life to protect Liesel and her family’s life.
Veterans day is important to me because it is where we see Veterans down the street and shake their hand and say thank you we don't get that opportunity that we almost never get so when you get a chance shake their hand.The thing that you served the most is for are freedom and for what we can do that you make sure we can go to school each day, go to a job each day. We have Freedom of speech and goodwill is useful because it helps to give children around the earth to get clothes to people that need it to survive the winters they get to have toys to play.Freedom of Speech it gives us a say in what we believe like a town meeting where everyone gets a vote or say in government.
It is serving your country and standing up for what one believes is right. A veteran’s glory is not appreciated by the majority of the American people, because they do not understand all the heartache and pain that comes with the job. These heroes did not have to be asked to do what was right, or uphold their countries’ values. True, some were drafted to fight, but not one of these individuals would say it was not a life changing experience for them. The memory, whether happy or painful, will be permanently stuck with them for the rest of their lives.
The suspense in this story started when the barber recognized Captain Torres as he entered the barber shop. It is an indication that he knows something frightening about the man. His fear of the man was justified when he recalled how humiliatingly he killed the rebels for all the town people to see. The suspense escalated when the barber revealed that he is a rebel too. The barber’s every thought, every move, and every stroke makes the reader wonder if he is going to take advantage of his position to kill Captain Torres. It intensified when he described that the soap is drying and he had to hurry – hurrying to do what?! And then he started to imagine how swiftly the sharp the razor would cut his skin and how the blood would slowly ooze and
