When you see a soldier come home to their family, what do you feel? Maybe you hope that they weren’t a person who had to fight. Maybe you feel proud that you are an American and that you can live in a free country. But you feel in the bottom of your heart, pride and bravery within that person. Just knowing what things they have possibly seen and gone through. People in America see more value in their soldiers than in any other country in the world.
Each year we celebrate veterans and what they did for our country with Veteran’s Day. We also have Memorial Day to celebrate the soldiers that have passed on making our country a safer place. Sometimes while you are sitting in a classroom or you are at work you’re not thinking about what the soldiers on the other half of the world are doing. They are fighting so you can work where you want, go see a movie if you want, or even go to a restaurant. Some countries have limited times that you can do those things because they are not a free country. Luckily, the United States is not like that.
We always celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks and sparklers but does anybody really think about what that means. Probably not. It means independence, how we are independent people, we make our OWN decisions and we have our OWN actions. Being human, we don’t always do what others expect us to do because it is another piece of freedom. Americans have the right to choose what we want to do and that makes us independent, and our soldiers make that possible.
Our country sees more value in their soldiers, than in any other country in the world. Every day there is somebody fighting for us and protecting our country and we appreciate them for that. No family member wants that knock on the door saying that their loved one isn't coming home and we have to help others through that.
