What does Veteran mean to You?




Today we celebrate Veteran's Day. For hundreds of years men and women have served our country to give us the freedoms and liberties we enjoy today. After taking part in the program this morning take some time to answer the question: What does Veteran mean to You?

What Veterans mean to me is they give the USA freedom and fight for our country . I love Veterans for what they do and even though lives were lost I’m still grateful for what they do! Veterans also mean a lot to me because both my great grandfathers on my mom’s side served. My grandpa’s dad was a medic and took care of people when they were injured. My other great grandpa is my mom’s grandpa and he was in the Navy. Both of them were great soldiers!

A veteran to me means a man or woman that is fighting for freedom for their country. If we did not have any people that served in the military then america would be a bomb zone everywhere because the army would not be here to protect us and everyone would most likely be slaves.

A veteran to me is a hero because they have been through so much. Whenever I am around a veteran I feel safe and protected. They have done so much for our country and helped a tone of people. Veterans always know what to do becuase they have seen so much and have gone through war for years.

What Veteran's mean to me is freedom. Veterans are very important to me. My gramps was a veteran. If we didn't have veterans we wouldn't have freedom. They also mean that we can be safe in our country. I love vet.'s.

Veterans to me are encouraging soldiers trying to make our country better and safe. Veterans to me are not just Veterans they're heroes. They are heroes not just to me but everyone. Veterans sacrifice they're lives for us and their country.

To me veterans are very important, because they fight for our country and our freedom. I have a couple veterans in my family, and they are very important to me. They both and all the other veterans take their chances and their sacrifices to make our country free. Veterans fight to kill people and possibly die fighting. That’s why veterans are so important to me.
