I have two brothers, but none of them live with me, which makes me really sad because I don’t spend as much time with as I would like to. However, we are always texting and talk on the phone every night. I’ve gotten in many arguments with them because I get mad they don’t let me do whatever I want, but it’s because they want the best for me. Despite of all the arguments they don’t have any anger towards me.

My best memories have been by my family’s side. One of the best memories I have with them is when we went to the beach with my cousins and I remember we would all play together. Sometimes I wish things were still the same, since, we’re not as close as we used to be.

    Veterans Day is a national holiday dedicated to making sure military veterans get the proper respect they are due, it is also a day for all Americans to remember the sacrifices made by the members of our armed forces, past and present.
