Ralph Bonville Case Study

345 Words2 Pages

97 year-old veteran, Ralph Bonville, was proud to share his knowledge of the American Legion and our local Post # 164. As one of Falmouth’s most senior residents, Ralph is older than the American Legion itself. After a meeting in France in 1918 at the end of World War I, a group of twenty soldiers opted to have a meeting in the US in March of 1919. The result was to be a new veteran’s organization called the American Legion chartered by Congress. The role was to care for wounded veterans, widows and orphans. The American Legion has grown to be the largest veterans’ group in the US with many added roles of service to meet the state and nation. Following World War II, Falmouth Veterans returned to their homes, and in 1946 established by charter

    Helping our veterans should be mandatory because of their sacrifice. Even though some people believe war veterans acquire enough from the Government, others believe they deserve more for their services. Veterans of the United States of America should not be homeless since they fought for our country with a sense of bravery and commitment. Therefore, the Department of Veterans Affairs should be reconstructed, also expanded to meet the growing need of our veterans.

  • Persuasive Essay On Veterans Day

    517 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ninety-eight years ago, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice was declared between Germany and the Allied Nations in World War I. One year later, it was celebrated as Armistice Day to honor the cause of world peace. After World War II and the Korean War, it was renamed Veterans Day, dedicated to American veterans from any war. The transition from Armistice Day to Veterans Day seems appropriate, for we would not have peace if we did not have veterans. But the implication that veterans are mere preservers of order is a vast misrepresentation; they do much more for our nation.

  • Argumentative Essay On Helping Veterans

    685 Words  | 3 Pages

    The US has grappled with many questions about society’s obligations as to whether or not to offer services and benefits to the men and women in the armed forces. Supporters argue that helping veterans will help the society as whole and opponents argue that we shouldn’t be increasing our federal government spending in repaying veterans. Although I do see where people can argue that we are spending too much money on helping veterans after war, I believe that the government owes them for what they have done for the country, despite the cost. The government owes certain benefits to veterans because the men and women in the armed forces deserve to be welcomed home with a generous system of services for what they have done for the country. Helping veterans goes way back all the way to the 1600s.
