The Gift Of America's Gift To My Generation

Decent Essays
America’s gift to my generation is not just a physical gift, but a mental gift. This gift we have is not just the freedom to do the things we do to today, but feeling safe and not taking the freedoms we have for granted. It is also because of America’s veterans, the people that shaped our home and gave us what amazing place we have today. But many people don’t realize it but without the veterans, we wouldn’t have nearly as much as we have

Now people don’t realize but when veterans come home everything has changed for them and they miss many things. They could miss the day that their child is born or they may lose contact with old friends that they had.…

    The question being asked of me is “Why Veterans are Important to Our Nation’s History and Future?” Veterans are important to me because I live with two of them and I have a lot of them in my family. Without them, I wouldn’t know the reason why we have people sacrificing themselves for our country. My Grandpa, Roy Noble, always said that “War is not good but fighting for our country is,” I didn’t really understand that until I realized without them we wouldn’t have a free country. Britain would have taken over and we would have a queen instead of a president, or something like that.…

    If we did not win this war we wouldn’t have won our independence and we wouldn’t be the same country we are today. If we didn’t have these veterans we would have lost the Civil war and we would still have slaves and a lot of famous people in history wouldn’t exist and we would still have racism. Veterans show us how to respect the people we see every day. They teach us to not give up till we have success and achieve our goals. Veterans have risked their lives for us and that we should be grateful for.…

    In America, we have the right to vote, work, drive and many more activities we can partake in and to this we owe our veterans. It’s because of them that I can walk freely; they inspire me. Throughout their days of duty, they were motivated to fight for their values. They act as a martyr for the country and that’s a job most people are far from willing to take. Most people in America have nice lives and it's because of the women and men who serve for this nation.…
