Veterans day essay

Veterans, the men and women who took their lives to join the army so we could be here today. If it wasn’t for them who knows where we’d be? Veterans are brave people who risked their lives! 
Veterans, the bravest people you’ll ever meet, risked their lives so everybody could live and prosper. When I see a veteran, I always think they are the people I would want to be when I'm older. My grandpa was a veteran he might not have been in a big war, but he went to Korea during the peace time. He was barely in any conflict, but I still see him as a veteran. My grandpa told me stories of when he went to Korea. He said it was the most beautiful sight he has ever seen in his life. One of the most important things he said to me was if you’re ever in the army, enjoy every minute you get, enjoy the scenery, try to make the best out of it even if you get bad food, and always make your captain proud. My grandpa said that he complained a lot but when he got out of the service, he took all his training and put it to good use.  
Veterans deserve to be treated better after all they fought for our country. Who has the guts to take on such risks when they know there is a great chance that they might not come back. The pain the family takes on when the mail comes in and the note comes in that one of their family members will not be coming back. Veterans deserve more than just respect; treated good, and a home they deserve to be able to see their families. Nobody knows what kind of risks the veterans take because they are too hooked to their phones to even look up from them.  
You might see ads on your phone or your TV about the army trying to get you to join, many people say no because they think that it’s just a hoax. If you ever join the army remember that your fighting for your country. 
 they faught so we could have a home, water, a bed to sleep in just think if you didn’t have any of that, that’s what homeless veterans feel like. Do veterans always make good decisions no, but they do make up for it.
