There is no right time to honor veterans that serve our country. We should just honor them whenever we’re thinking about it, because, unlike Superman or Batman, they are the real heroes. Veterans are the ones who actually went out in wars to defend America, knowing that at any second, their lives could have been torn away from them.
There are hundreds of families out there who have lost someone very dear to them because of war. Veterans put their lives on the line for each and every individual in the United States to keep us safe. That’s a huge sacrifice to make. Most ordinary people would never have the courage to do something like that.
There are a couple of holidays that do commemorate our military, such Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day, but that’s nowhere near enough. Some people still don’t realize how essential these beings are, regardless of having these holidays. Perhaps that’s because no one has ever bothered to teach them more.
School systems should set aside a unit in social studies that educates students about veterans and our military. This way, we can get a better understanding of the subject. For those who do or did have someone in the military, this would be a great way to honor them. Even if some students don’t have anyone they know who served or is serving, they can get more of a background of what the military is like. Maybe then some people will stop taking these heroes for granted.
Without our veterans, who knows what could have happened to our country? That’s what makes this matter so important. I can’t even begin to describe how appreciative I am of them. By having the military, I don’t have to worry about getting caught in a war on our homeland. That’s an incredible feeling to have.
