    In America, Veterans were not always appreciated for their efforts in the military. Take the Vietnam war for example...instead of coming back to loving and open arms our military was shunned and highly disrespected due to their interference in the Vietnamese battle. Now we have learned to accept them for who they are and their contributions to keep America free. Veterans to me are the symbol of America’s success. They are proof of how strong our country is and how people are willing to die to keep

    thinks it’s so easy and cool to join Armed Forces, but to be honest, half of them don’t even know what the effects would be when they join and after they leave the military.

Veterans should be shown respect when they come back home, but they don’t and to me that’s just disrespectful and it also shows how out of line citizens are. Everyone who has fought for their country, chose
