What does Veterans' Day Mean to You?

To me Veterans Day is about honor, respect, and pride. To honor those who risked their life or lost their life fighting for us. To have the respect and tell them thank you for having the courage to go fight not knowing if you would make it back. The pride to where our colors proudly knowing that we all stand together as one. Veteran’s day is a special day for all the different groups of the military together and get recognize. Because when all the women and men leave we don’t realize what they have sacrificed, they put their life on the line, but that doesn’t matter to them because they putting others before the self. On this day we applause Mothers, Daughters, Grandmas, Uncles, Fathers, Brothers, Cousins, Grandfathers, friends. Anybody who left their country to fight for freedom, we should be very thankful we have brave hearts out here in this world! Today is a very important day for people’s family. If it wasn’t for veterans we wouldn’t have any of this freedom we have now. I couldn’t even imagine what the world would be like with no freedom it would probably feel like a big old jail cell. So on this day we take a moment of silence to remember the ones we love out there or was out there not only fighting for their life, but fighting for ours too. Veterans day goes out to people who are serving and did serve. Both living and dead we thank you all for what you have done and you will always be remembered. It means a lot that you’re out there risking your life every day. It’s not really enough words to say how blessed we are to have y’all out there fighting for our freedom. Y’all help us out in so many ways.
