Meaning Of Honor's Memorial Day
I would like to thank everyone that has shown their support, encouragement, sympathy, love, and prayers towards the sudden passing of my beloved grandpa from last week. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as my family goes through this new season of life. This year's Memorial Day definitely attached a different meaning to it. My grandpa was given Military Honors at the cemetery as he served in the Army in between the Korean and Vietnam War. It brought great pride, joy, and honor for him to be able to served. Thank you for those who had served and are currently serving. It is because of you that we have our freedom and liberty.

    Operation Anaconda Case Study

    It saddens me to hear about the complete lack of value to the war effort put on by this small group of Americans. That key leaders given the authority to effect change sit idle while lives are lost. But then, as I stomach that blow, I focus on their true grit, their courage, their resolve, their valor, the bravery, their fearlessness, their dedication, the sheer tenacity of these Hero’s, and I am reminded of why our country is so great. God bless those that lost their lives in this battle, and the families that they left…

    Summary: The Importance Of Honoring Veterans

    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…

    Today is our chance to say "thank you" for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life. We will all feel cheated, always, that you were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all. Only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult. We have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward.…

    What Veteran's Day Means to Me

    become a person of value”. ~Albert Einstein.Veterans are not just men and women who went to war. Veterans are the cause, we live in a safe country they are the cause, we walk on the sidewalk laughing and enjoying what life brings us. But the question in my mind is we laugh, play, and learn, what about Veterans they don’t laugh, they cry they don’t play they fight they don’t learn they die. We are not grateful we don’t respect the lives we live in every day. But that's not the point, we don’t even remember the reason we laugh, play and learn, if I were to tell you the number of people who died for us to have a bright future those numbers won’t matter the thoughts will. When I think about Veterans day I think about people who came back from the war and live a happy life, but I was wrong after learning the truth. Veterans day was the day we respect what we lose but even more we respect what we gained. That is what Veterans day means to me.…

    Memorial Day Research Paper

    What is the first thing that goes though your mind when you hear the words Memorial Day? What does it mean to you? What symbolization does it hold in you? Ladies and gentlemen, sadly enough, the true meaning of Memorial Day has been seemingly lost by the majority of Americans today. Many confuse this day for Veterans Day or even Armed Forces Day. Although it is highly appropriate to honor all our veterans, living and dead, and to recognize their immeasurable contributions to our country, this is not the true meaning of Memorial Day. When I asked you what the day means to you…what is symbolized to you, what went through you mind? Did you simply think of it as another federal holiday? A 3-day weekend? The beginning of the 100 days of Summer…a BBQ? Or did you think of a mother…

    So, this why we have Veterans Day, why .

Just drop by your local VA hospital and play a game of cards or just be a caring listener. It will mean so much to them. Or you even could simply walk up to a veteran and say…

    Grandfathers Appreciation

    The year was 1982. I was just eight years old, not a care in the world other than how late I can stretch out my play time on a school night. I longed for the weekends because I could stay out until the street lights came on! At this particular time, videogames weren’t the mainstay of child entertainment. My friends and I relied on good ole physical activity in the lines of sports and bicycles to pass our time. Anything that kept me from my daily routine of fun and excitement were a real downer in my eyes. One of the things I despised the most was the routine visits to my grandparent’s house. Don’t get me wrong I loved my grandparents, it’s just that every visit involved me being put to work doing various…
