America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed.

From the bitter cold winter at Valley Forge, to the mountains of Afghanistan and the deserts of Iraq, our soldiers have courageously answered when called, gone where ordered, and defended our nation with honor.

A soldier doesn't fight because he hates the enemy in front of him, he fights because he loves what he left behind. | 39 up, 0 down | Mario Tomasello quotes | added by: sprmario317

    These selfless acts of sacrifice enabled America to earn our independence and have allowed us the freedoms that our inalienable rights allow: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Today, we are free to pursue an education, religion, careers, housing, we have freedom of speech, and the right to bear arms. These are just a few of the freedoms that we have because of our veterans - freedoms that people in other countries are denied. As Judd Greg, former governor of New Hampshire, pointed out during a ceremony at Graceland Cemetery in December of 2013, “The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy” (journalexpress.net…

    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…

    When one sees the flag waving in the wind, hears the Star Spangled Banner, or speaks their pledge of allegiance, they feel a sense of pride for their country. The United States of America has fought against much tyranny. Every war, battle, and conflict we have endured has ushered us closer together. On September 11, 2001 our beloved nation was attacked by an inconceivable evil. America’s oneness of sharing in each other's happiness and sorrow was highlighted because of this strike against us.…

    Another example of how people only want to fight for their own survival and not patriotism is when Paul says, "Our thoughts are clay, they are moulded with the changes of the days;--when we are resting they are good; under fire, they are dead. Fields of craters within and without" (Remarque 271). This statement tells the reader that even though the soldiers might think something in the beginning of the war their ideas and beliefs can change over time. This also goes in accordance with my…

    Lastly I am thankful to our soldiers for fighting for our freedom. Because if we didn’t have freedom, we couldn’t do the things we want to do like, believing in god, eating ice cream etc. We couldn’t sing our songs. Because of them we are not slaves.…

    Fighting for freedom was the reason we fought in the first place, and I wish to fulfill that reason. Valley Forge was a very difficult turning point, but in all that there is doubt, there is hope. Whether you win, lose, or die, you’ll be glad you re-enlisted , and so will your aging mother and other family members. I wish to serve for my country as my brother did. I believe that in all that there is bad, there is good. In all that there is darkness, there is light. In all that there is doubt, there is hope to conquer our toughest…

    They gave their lives so we are able to live ours without having to fight as they did. They made it possible for our country to live with freedom and liberated from others. While many Americans often forget this, we should still live under the influence of their sacrifices and should respect their efforts each day. For example, many Americans refuse to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, something that is important to our nation and the people. I believe it is our duty as Americans to respect and honor the people who fought for our country, the people who left their lives behind to fight for our cause not just for their own.…

    I very much admire men and women who believe in a higher calling. I have a deep respect for those who are willing to put their lives in danger to protect those who may not be able to protect themselves. How awesomely honorable are those who serve and support their fellow humans? Most importantly, I am indebted to those who have given their lives for this cause. They have given us so many freedoms; our ability to walk down the street, go into a store, buy some milk, and then bring back home in peace is possible today because of the sacrifice. We move freely under the blanket of protection that uniformed members have provided for us. I can never thank you…

    It is always so beautiful when they sing the National Anthem. It reminds me that I am so lucky to be in America while there are men and women who are fighting over seas to keep us safe.

    Sometimes they call for it because it is worth cries. Sometimes they fight for it because it is worth pains. Sometimes they die for it because simply it is life. When you ask them about what they are longing for they simply say "freedom". However, the term is controversial because freedom is not something that can talk and walk. You can not lay it to physical measures. Sometimes defining freedom depends on the age when it is sough. Sometimes it depends on the conception of the seeker or even needs. As any abstract value freedom seemed to be lost between truth and fantasy and still.…
