Graduation Speech: Afte After The Veterans

247 Words1 Page

Thank you Veterans for all of the sacrifices you have made for our country. My whole life I have walked, spoken, prayed, and lived freely because of you. I can’t even imagine what life would be like if you hadn’t given your everything. Before the veterans visited our classroom I can honestly say that I didn’t know much, if anything, about most of the wars. That was changed after the veterans spoke to us. They all told their stories from the war including the hardships and their fond memories. The most surprising part of all of this is that even after all of the hardships they faced, all of the veterans we talked with said that if they had the chance to go back and do it again they would. That shows how dedicated these men and women are to their country. …show more content…

Every time I go to church it’s because the veterans have protected my right to do that. There are other countries where a person isn’t allowed to pray to their god but somehow I am fortunate enough to live in a country where brave men and women have fought so that I can believe anything I want.
Thank you again to every veteran. I am forever grateful to you and your bravery. Thank you for all of your sacrifices and everything you have done to protect the people of your

    In the speech “How to Talk to Veterans About War” Wes Moore is trying to convey the message that the saying “thank you for your service” is only a start to the conversation a person should be having with a veteran. To do this, Moore tells the audience his story. Moore starts off by saying that he got into trouble as a child, and that his mother decided to send him to military school. After he graduated, he gave her the papers to sign up to become an army officer, which she then signed (Moore). Moore explains that he didn’t sign up to go to war, and that he thought he might serve on a weekend or a few weeks out of the year; however when 9/11 happened that thought process changed.

    I firmly believe that such memorials are extremely valuable to veterans. It has been said of veterans that they seldom talk about their military experiences; however, in my thinking, that is not an accurate appraisal. We think about those times; nonetheless, it’s difficult to find, even among loved ones, those with whom one feels at ease to share those memories and feelings. YET, standing in the solitude of these memorials, a soldier’s thoughts flow freely as he/she reminisces

    Marching band; copious amounts of people scoff at the sound of those words. I often hear students commenting on how easy marching band is, how we don’t train like the football players do. At Anderson High School, that’s not the case, the marching band trains for just as long. As a band of over 125 individuals, it takes determination, pride, and confidence to achieve the goals we have set forth to accomplish. As a leader of the saxophone section, I know what it’s like to face failure, to overcome and turn it into success and to march on with confidence.

People just don't understand how war changes a person's life. That is what Harold Krebs from “Soldiers Home” and James Gatz in “The Great Gatsby” learned when they came home.
