Question

The question is "my role in honoring america's veterans" it has to be 3 pages long. I have no clue even where to begin or what to right about! so if anyone could help me out that would be great!

Answer 1

Indulge your freedoms.



Say something that makes the powers that be uncomfortable. And publish It.



Own a firearm, or two.



Resist all searches -- especially if you have nothing to hide.



Demand due process -- even if it is easier and faster just to pay a small fine.



Do something every day to exercise the freedoms those veterans have secured for you. Be aware that you are doing it. Appreciate it. And remember the men that died to give it to you.

Answer 2

start by asking yourself what their contributions and sacrifices mean to you. How did they shape the world you live in today? Try not to limit yourself to the veterans of the current war. You must go all the way back to the Revolutionary War and the Minutemen. Then decide how you feel they should be honored. I am a veteran with 20 years service and still serving.

Answer 3

If you don't take part in any Supporting Troops rally's or sending packages to our troops or veterans, I recommend you think about what they fought for, and how you honor them through the way you live your life.



Meaning... They fought, and continue to fight, for people to enjoy freedom ... the freedom's provided to American's by our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Speech, religion, pursuing a life outside the "class" you may have been born to... (which is what the "pursuit of happiness" in the Preamble is all about).



So... think about how those freedoms affect your life, day to day. Your freedom to get an education, the freedom of your parents to work in whatever job they're skilled, your freedom to ask your teachers questions, and to demonstrate and congregate on your school campus, to work... Think about the opportunities you have in this country that you may not have had if you'd been born in another country. And gear your paper to write about how you honor the vets who won and maintain that freedom for you.



Meaning... do you honor your freedom of speech by having a strong vocabulary, and speaking kind words, and thinking through your words, rather than just spouting off like a blowhard? Or do you just blab?? Do you honor the right of all to practice whatever religion they choose, or do you make fun of people of faith?



Most vets and servicemen I know don't really want parades and public recognition. They just want our citizens to appreciate the freedom we have, and the fact that our young men and women are willing to put their lives on the line to make sure we continue having those freedoms.



I think that's enough food for thought... I'll let you write the rest.. *LOL*

Answer 4

Perhaps (and this is just me spitballin' here) write about what we fought each war for and then end with listing all that we have fought for and won (along with those people in formerly oppressed countries) for into what we have today.



Then say something to the effect of; that without people willing to take the oath, to face or enemies, to fight for justice, to give up the sheltered life so that others may know freedom and liberty we nor many other people in this world would have none of these things.



One example: US civil war. Ended slavery. True citizenship enjoyed by all citizens of the US now.

Answer 5

Let your instructors know that you will (1) read a newspaper everyday, (2) vote in every election, and (3) go to the closest Ivy League University and hand out recruitment pamphlets.



(1) In the world of Fox news and Focus on the Family and the other drivel that comes from our national media, we have lost any idea of what is going on in the world. The onus is on all of us to remain informed and understand which political issues could result in the US having to employ the "big stick" of democracy across the world. Too many Americans gleefully embrace their ignorance as a way to escape the realities our vets will someday face.



(2) Not all troops vote, but they've earned the right. They also respond directly to your choice for leaders as well. If leader "Y" thinks we should go to war with Timbuctoo, and leader "Z" thinks we shouldn't, it is your obligation to vote for what you think is right and what you would support if you were in the military. If you don't vote then you are wasting the opportunity that many dead soldiers would value and you a making a choice to render your support for who everyone else votes for. Given that the US sends the most amount of troops overseas and has one of the worlds lowest voter registration rates, we should all take a moment and think to ourselves, "Am I really embracing this freedom?"



(3) As Americans we have decided that dedicating your time to military service is an undertaking for the middle and lower middle class of American. No longer do the Rockefellers or Kennedys participate in military service. To honor vets we need to understand there is a fundamental question we all need to ask....does America need a military? If the answer is yes, then who should serve? If the privileged class of society served in todays military in the numbers they served prior to Vietnam, we would see our country play an active and engaged role in international relations and our nations military engagements. The soldiers at war would be the children our the scions of society, the people who really move US policy.

Answer 6

Work on planting trees/flowers at Veterans Memorials in your area, volunteering at the local VA Hospital, setting up groups to welcome back soldiers from war, setting up groups designed to help soldiers get accustomed to living back in the states, and send letters of thanks to random veterans. You would not believe how just one letter of thanks, support, love, and kindness can make someones life that much better.
