  • November 11 And Acceptance For Today's Honor Veterans

    836 Words  | 4 Pages

    November 11 is one of the few holidays held in observation for U.S. military participants in which they're praised and appreciated for their service and sacrifice for our country. The vast majority of today's civilians honor veterans through ovations at parades and commemorative events around America but we must remember serving in the military isn't a wonderful experience veterans undergo. They may inclusively be considered heroes because they've risked their lives to protect our country but is it appropriate to call veterans heroes? Our expression of gratitude for their service isn't sufficient to truly display our respect because after all, we, the public lack empathy to understand a veteran's experience at war, establishing a present gap

    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.

The lack of available funding for veterans is especially obvious when compared to that available for lower income citizens, or even illegal immigrants.
