Essay On Veterans Coming Home

550 Words3 Pages

I chose this article because I've always been so curious of how veterans dealt with their problems after they came back home. This article helped me open my eyes a little because one comes to realize that others need help on the emotional level. Some people join the army and it might be for the wrong reasons and they might end up seeing something they were not expecting from the beginning. I believe it's important for veterans to know what they getting themselves into before anything happens. Some guys and girls get involved in it for the money. I think that's the wrong reason to going any of those work forces. You need to be willing to help people because you want to.

I think that is very traumatizing. Your whole life changes, a person is constantly used to doing things everyday with the body parts they have. We as humans are not used to change and when something changes we go crazy and we do not find what to

    Veteran Benefits The issue of veteran benefits in the United States is not taken as seriously as it should be in our country, even though it is a growing problem that needs to be addressed. The lack of available funding for veterans is especially obvious when compared to that available for lower income citizens, or even illegal immigrants. Also, what does exist appears to fall short in taking care of veteran’s needs. Considering that these veterans are people who have risked their lives fighting for this country, the fact that they are not receiving immediate benefits or even what they have earned is unfair.
