Holiday Fun

My favorite holiday is Christmas, I love this holiday because of all the joy it brings. Christmas is the season of giving. My family all gets together and hangs out, we have the best food. I love watching people open the presents I get them. I feel like Christmas is so pretty, with the trees, lights, and decorations. When I think of Christmas I think of happiness, and fun.

I made this word art with words that remind me of Christmas.

Veterans Day Essay

Veterans, the people who fought for our freedom, are the most important people in this world.  Brave and Unselfish describe Veterans, because they fought for you while risking their lives. The reason you can live the way you do is because of Veterans. Veterans, the ones who gave us our freedom, need to be honored everywhere and every day, they are heroes.

First of let’s go back to when Veterans first got off their plane from fighting the Vietnam War, and facing protest. These Veterans haven’t seen America in a long time, haven’t seen family or friends. Why? Because they were fighting for you, fighting for your freedom. What do they get? Objects thrown at them, having people yelling at them, and being spit on, that’s not right at all. Some Veterans never wanted to wear their uniforms again. They put them away and never thought about wearing them again. That’s sad isn’t it? They should have been able to wear those uniforms with pride. However today we are doing a much better job of respecting these Veterans who fought for us. Veterans deserve nothing but your respect.

Veterans need to be honored for many reasons. You may ask yourself why should I honor these people? Well you should honor them because they fought for your freedom. These people went to war risking their lives for you. Imagine risking your life for someone you don’t even know. They need to be honored more than anybody in this world. Without these people, we probably wouldn’t have our freedom. You wouldn’t be able to have the schooling you have, we wouldn’t have the government we have, we wouldn’t have the jobs we have today. Some of the Veterans that went to fight for you never came back home. They lost their lives for you. How would you like to risk your life for people to have freedom and not be recognized or thanked for it? You wouldn’t, so thank Veterans, respect them, and honor them.

Veterans should be honored not just on Veterans day, but every day. Why? Because they are one of the many amazing people on this earth. They are the people who gave you the life you live today. It is truly sad what they had to go through. They saw things you could never imagine, things you don’t want to imagine. Going through so much just to fight for you. They are heroes whether they know or not, some Veterans don’t consider themselves heroes, but they are. I believe that Veterans absolutely need a holiday, but I feel las that it should be their day every day. They are the most important people out there.

From this essay, I hope you take away the fact that Veterans need to be respected and honored. I hope that every time you see a veteran you thank them and shake their hand, that’s the least you could do. Take a minute to think about the ones who lost their lives. Veterans are heroes, America’s heroes.
