Patriot's Pen

There are a lot of reasons that we should honor our veterans. One of the reasons is that without our veterans fighting in World War II the United States of America might have been took over by Germany or Japan. Then when they where in control of us they might have killed different types of religions or all of the religions. Then we would be ruled by them and wouldn’t have a lot of freedom. The Veterans did a lot to protect us and to fight for our freedom.

We should also honor our veterans because they were really brave to go in to war even when they knew they where going to be most likely killed, tortured, or put in a concentration camp. They where also brave enough to do certain things like march right into Japanese territory to try and find a hand radio to tell that they where shooting there own men and to tell them where to fire. So most of our veterans are pretty brave.

My family has a lot of veterans. My uncle was a veteran and he served in Saudi Arabia and he was an inventory specialist. He had a lot of work because he had to inventory all the items twice because he had to count the entire inventory going into the Gulf War and also all the inventory that was going out. My great grandpa was also a veteran; he served in World War II, Korean, and Vietnam. He was the supervisor for aircraft mechanics. What he did was supervise airplanes that went in and out. He also salvaged parts from the airplanes that wouldn’t work. Also my grandpa fought in the Vietnam War. He was a Tank crewman on an A-48 N-3 tank. He served from Dec.10 1956 to Dec. 4 1957 so he served almost a year. He actually went out and fought in the war in a tank. He served in I-Corps. They where great and are great and they helped serve in some wars and they along with tons of other people are the ones who helped protect and fight for America.

Right now there are veterans fighting in Iraq and they are serving America in their own way helping lots of people. They are really great and really brave and they fought for us and America; and that is why our American veterans should be honored.
