When is the right time to honor our veterans? Well to me, its all the time. There are national holidays and everything but we don’t appreciate our veterans enough and we don’t realize how much they do for us. They’re all around you. There are millions of former veterans, veterans that are in service right now, and the least of fortunate veterans.
Right now, there are plenty of veterans out there, we just don’t realize it. People in our every-day lives are veterans you just don’t know it. We don’t realize how important these people are to our country. Instead of just one day a year, we should celebrate veterans once a month.
One of the veterans’ toughest things to go through is their flashbacks. War is not a thing that you can get over and the ones that do make it out of war alive are challenged the rest of their lives with flashbacks. Their flashbacks could be something minor like someone getting killed to being a part of the worst days in American history. We don’t realize what these veterans have gone through because we’ve never experienced it and we don’t know what it feels like to see someone die. This is one of the things that we think about the least but it is one of the most tragic.
We don’t realize what these veterans have to go through. It's not just war, it's all the tough things that go on, go along, and go before war. We only think of the things that we hear about. You never hear about the boot camp or the anything else but war but there are many other struggles along with it. You just don't see or hear them.
All in all, veterans should be thanked for their hard work and service to their country. They put in 24 hours a day, seven days a week when they are in service and defending our country. We as the people of the United States of America could never match what they do for us. They are the blood and bones of America and they help form the heart.
