Many people take America for granted and do not appreciate all the veterans who have served for their country and many who have sacrificed their lives. We as people do not understand their experience and how traumatic it was for most of them. They do so much and we do so little. We the people can pay back our debt with just simple acts. If we raised money and just built them a decent home, we would show how thankful we are. Veterans should feel independent at their homes that fulfil their…
Walking into the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital for the first time is an experience. The shining academic center had gaping hallways, sizable windows, and modern technology. At the VA, the space was smaller, windows fewer, and portable computers were rare. After weeks of walking the halls, I started to notice different things. Everyone I passed greeted me with a jovial “Hi!” and I began to notice the different pins and hats signifying where people served. This was a population I wanted to work…
Our veterans helped us with so many things in the past, but the most important one is freedom. Without independence, our generation’s everyday life would be played out so much differently. If you know who Morgan Freeman, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, or Chuck Norris are then, you’ve known an USA veteran. For example, Morgan Freeman, enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1955 and trained as a fighter pilot until after four whole years of his training he left the Air Force. His exact words…
For veterans, sacrifice is a constant in their lives, be it the sacrifices they make at home, to leave their family and friends behind them for their country's sake, or on enemy lines, when they're selflessly putting their lives at stake for us. They become veterans because of their patriotism, their dedication to those around them, the pursuit of freedom, and for their beliefs. Everything this country is built on is protected by veterans’ blood, sweat, tears, and hard work. These sacrifices and…

to think about how important our veterans are to our nation’s history? Well I need to tell you that without them we wouldn’t be the nation we are today. Without veterans we might have not won some of our hardest wars. Without veterans we probably wouldn’t have won WWII. We also wouldn’t have won the Revolutionary war. 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…

Being a combat veteran myself I always put the needs of the veteran first to offer the best possible service available. Volunteering to me is a very important part of human services to others since it offers a chance to give back and make a meaningful contribution to individuals. It is a one of the main values of social work. One of the key reasons on the decision to take this path in earning my master’s degree in social work was the lack of services to most veterans. My own experience…
