I am 14 years old and in 8th grade, at McCord Junior High. My English class is writing letters to thank veterans in honor of Veteran’s Day. With that being said, I would like to thank you for the great things you did, such as putting yourself in danger, for our country. Thank you for fighting in dangerous times to protect our country. I really appreciate, what you have done to help everyone in our country. You and many other vetrinas do many things to protect our country, thank you.

I will never forget what you and other Vetrinas have done for us. I haven't been through much wars in my life but my two great grandpas have served in, World War II. One of my great grandpas were in the navy during this time, the other one was a commander in

    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…

    In 1918, President Wilson established November 11 as a day to show honor and thankfulness for those who have risked their lives for our country. This day was significant because it was "The War to end all Wars,” World War I. This day was mainly set aside to show pride to our veterans of World War I. In 1938, Armistice Day, Veterans Day original name, became a legal holiday. In 1945 just after World War II ended, congress changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Since then, Veterans Day was created to show pride to American Veterans of every war, with the oddity of a few years in which it was celebrated every year on a Monday, November 11th.…

    When organizing the Veterans assembly I would have never thought that so many veterans and community members would be so greatly impacted. While the assembly was taking place there where many Veterans who cried throughout the event, the impact this activity had on them was that we showed them how thankful we are for the things that they did for us even when they did not know us. This impacted them because it showed them that they are people who we are thankful for because without them our country would not be the great place it is today. This activity made them see that all of their hard work and suffering was worth it, and that future generations are willing to give them the respect that they deserve.…

    For most Americans, we honor our veterans because they served us to be free and without them we wouldn't be free in our country. But why? Why do we honor our veterans years after they're done serving. We need to honor them because they fought and worked hard for friends, family, and country. To me, if we don't honor our veterans it would be heartbreaking to the veterans that made our country free. Also, since we are free we can have our own beliefs and not believe in something that someone else does, and have our own rights so we can do what we want to do. Thank you to all veterans that served for our country so we can be free.…

    For the past 4 years, I’ve only dreamt of this moment. Graduating high school and leaving everything behind to create a new life. To explore the world, to discover the unknown, to discover myself. The time has come and I don’t think I could be more excited to take it all on, but Massabesic I want you to know I’ll never forget you. All of the sports events and pep-rallies, we won together and we lost together. We hugged and screamed and cried, we experienced suspense and pain and thrill. We did it all together. We reached a breaking point, but it was all worth it in the end, for we thrived and succeed. Our strong and unified Mustang Nation. I will never forget it or the people who got me to this point. Mom and dad, I don’t know how you raised…
