Reflection: I think it is important to honor Veterans Day because without them we wouldn’t be where we are today. Veterans Day is a day to remember what happened in order to be grateful for those veterans and victims that lost their lives. We should be thankful that those people were willing to die in order to keep this country going. They not only risked their lives but also left families behind devastated, for those families it was hard to let them go but was necessary. I feel as though all those they don’t get enough appreciation. It is easier said than done to serve for our country, so we need to come together to appreciate those who dedicate their lives to our safety. This will lead us to be more appreciated on days like Veterans Day and be able to keep the tradition going. Help Veteran's day really show those who have serve our appreciation plus don't forget to show your support! After all, your support is what may keep them going.
