In the past and in this present day. veterans have fought to provide independence and opportunity to the people of the United States. Therefore, we should choose to respect those who serve, those who have served, and the lost lives as well.

Without them, we wouldn't have the many freedoms we posses today. For example, freedom of religion. Everyday we take for granted our freedom to attend church. Many citizens of other countries are critisized for their beliefs, but because we have veterans who fight for us we can go to church or believe whatever religion we want. So let us respect our veterans and give them the recognition they deserve.

I feel as the Veterans deserve to be respected in the National Anthem but they also deserve to be respected everywhere and anytime. Veterans also deserve a day or two for their services. Veterans were wiling to give up their lives; they at least need a day for us to say Thank you.

Yes, i think they should have national holiday and respect during the anthem.

I think that veterans do deserve to have a day just about them. I also think they do deserve respect during the National Anthem. The reason why I think these things are simple. They used their own personal time and lives to fight for us. When they could have been spending that time with their families. Every time they put on their uniform they make an oath to protect what they are fighting for.

Veterans do deserve a national holiday and respect during the National Anthem. Here are some reasons why they deserve respect and a nation holiday. They deserve respect because they fight for our country, and our freedom. They fight for everyone, risking their lives to others. They put themselves ahead of others and do what’s right.

Yes I think veterans deserve a national holiday, although some people say veterans are just normal men dressed in a costume, I see them as differently. Most people who talk bad about military men aren't willing to drop their life to serve for our country. I support our veterans majorly because I myself would be scared to death to step on a battlefield with bullets flying in every direction. Also during the National Anthem everyone should be very respectful, if you live in America and you are safe then it is because of our military, so they deserve the upmost respect for keeping you safe.

I think that veterans do deserve their own holiday. Veterans Day is meant to honor the men and women who have sacrificed so much just to keep us and our country safe. They should have their own holiday so that nobody ever forgets what they have done for us, the United States of America, their families, and themselves.

When it comes to what I think about veteran’s day I do think that we should have it. The veterans have given up so much for us. Whether they lost their lives or not they put their life’s on the line for us for our freedom. That’s why I think there should be veteran’s day.

Yes I do think veterans should have a day were we respect them. The reason why I am yes is because all these men are risking their lives not only for the people they love but also for people they don’t even know and I respect that. So to me I think Veterans Day should be celebrated and thought of a lot more then it is now. Because if it wasn’t for them risking their lives in fighting in that war for us then we would most likely all be dead.

Veteran’s should have a day because, they risked there lives for ours. To me that is worth giving them a day for us to say thank you for that. Some people are so disrespectful they can’t even stand up for the national anthem. To me that is a way to respect our soldiers. Veteran’s should a have a veteran’s day because it’s a way we can thank them for keeping us safe.

I think that they should have a day, because they are risking there life for people they don’t know, and people they do and they might not get to their families again but they still go anyway because they know it’s what they want to do. And if anyone wants to risk their life and risk not see their family again then they deceiver a day of the year.

In my opinion about veteran’s day being a holiday I think it’s a wonderful thing that we have It. Are troops risk and spend their life fighting for are country. I’ve noticed some people not respecting are pledge and national anthem. People like that should not even be a U.S citizen. Thank you Troops for Serving are Country!!

Yes, I do think they deserve their own holiday because they nearly get killed for us. They fight these battles that make them suffer from PTSD or Depression afterwards. They go away for a long time away from their family. Some of them become homeless after the war. Out of all these things they go through for us I do think they deserve a day and respect. I will always respect them for what they go through and the things they see there.

I think our veterans deserve a national holiday and respect during our national anthem. The reason that I think they deserve a national holiday is because they fought for their country and their freedom. That’s a very honorable thing to do. I also think they deserve respect during the national anthem. Because they fought for their country and again that is a very honorable thing to do.

I think our veterans deserve a national holiday because they fought and served on the front lines of battle. Our veterans fight for this country and some die and never come back because they died for the country we are in. I believe the people of the United States Of America should STAND and respect the National Anthem because to me that is a disgrace to this country because our veterans are out there fighting for us and we aren’t going to stand for that, that is a disgrace. I do think that Veterans Day is a very special holiday and that it is wonderful that we have it.

They deserve this holiday for many years, for our strengths, our rights, and for each others possibilities.
There is a dark side in all of use that we put and leave there, we respect the veterans to when they run through the dark.

Yes I do think that our Veteran’s need a day of respect because they were the people that risked their life for us to argue over which presidential candidate is better. They were the brave soldiers who cried themselves to sleep at night worrying if they will ever be able to see their families again. Yes I do think that they deserve all attention during the National Anthem for putting their lives in danger for the country that they love so dearly. -- CB

I think Veterans should have a national holiday and respect during the National Anthem. Because Veterans, over the years have devoted their time to serve, and protect our country. And in my opinion. If we didn’t have a day to show our respect, for those who served, protected, or died for our country. It’s like saying we don’t care for their sacrifice, and it doesn’t seem right to me. Especially when you’ve got people who lost one they love in war. To this day they will never forget them. So, neither should we.
By remembering and those who fought for us. We are honoring them for their hard work and sacrifice. We are still alive because of them. We should take time to honor that.

Yes, our veterans do deserve a day of respect because they risked their lives to protect our freedom. They were very brave soldiers that watched their brothers die in battle. They also risked ever seeing their families again. Yes, they deserve all the respect they can get during the National Anthem for putting their lives on the line so we don’t have to. - RM

Yes I think that Veterans Day should be a holiday. People should also stand during the national anthem because you respect the veterans that worked so hard for our freedom. People that don’t stand during the national anthem disrespect the veterans that fought and lost their life on our freedom. Veterans that returned from the war is treated differently like they don’t exist.

Veterans Day Blog
I absolutely believe that our veterans deserve a national holiday and respect for people to stand during the National Anthem. The veterans long ago and today fought for our country, some died and didn’t make it back home to their families, in order for all other people to have freedom. They fought for our country and the people in our country even when they knew that there was a chance they wouldn’t return back home. We stand for the National Anthem because it shows respect for the soldiers that served our nation and defended our nation. We most definitely should show respect for the National Anthem because without the soldiers that fought we wouldn’t live in the free nation that we have today. They deserve their own national holiday because that is the day that we remember all the soldiers that died fighting and all the soldiers that live today to show respect and our condolences to them. Everyone should absolutely show respect all the time towards our soldiers that give their lives to go out there and fight for our nation.

VETERANS DAY
Yes I think the veterans do deserve their own day because they protect our country they protect us and they do deserve respect during the the pledge and national anthem and they deserve respect because they fought and some of them died so respect the ones alive and dead

I do think that veterans deserve a national holiday and have respect during the National Anthem because they risk their lives every day they are in the battle grounds. They should never be disrespected or not have a holiday to celebrate their service. So they should always have the holiday and be respected during the National Anthem.

I believe that our veterans do deserve a national holiday and respect during the national anthem because just because they are a soldier doesn’t mean that they don’t have a family also. They work hard and they need to know that our country appreciates them for it, they might not see their families for months or even years while we are with our families everyday. They have died and served our country with heart and dedication and are very much thanked for that.

_Veterans_Day_
Yes I think that veterans should have a day to be honored because they fight for us. The people in the Army fight for people that they don’t even know, or may never meet. They fight for people who don’t respect them at all. They deserve to be honored for risking their lives for us every day.

Yes, Americans should most definitely give their veterans a holiday and the most utmost respect. They deserve respect because of the matter of fact that they have been overseas away from their families and friends alone. They also deserve that respect because of the fact that they have given so much of their time, money, and even lives to fight for what they believe in. Whether or not it is voluntary or enlisted they deserve the acknowledgment and appreciation that almost none of give them.

I do think that our veterans do deserve a national holiday because of all they do for us to keep our country safe. The National Anthem is a good way to show appreciation to the veterans because it talks about the veterans and them fighting for our country. The national holiday should be a day in a month where there is no holiday.

Veterans deserve a day to be set aside in remembrance and they deserve the respect of all Americans. The American Veterans have set aside their lives in order to protect the lives of everyone else, not only the lives of Americans but the lives of people from other countries. They were not forced into the service but instead volunteered. They sacrificed everything they had in order to serve everyone else. They left their families, homes, and lives and completely submitted themselves into the service of others. They traveled across the world into nations of corruption and entered the line of fire in order to give everyone freedom.
They show great bravery and compassion. They bravely send themselves into the war zone. They bravely leave their family and friends, their lives, to go to an unknown land where they could possibly breathe their last breath. They compassionate fight for the freedom of others. They compassionately submit themselves to the service of others and compassionately risk or lose their lives in order to save others.
Our veterans deserve more respect and dedication than we could possibly ever give but it is our duty as the American people they fight for to try our hardest. Most Americans don’t realize or comprehend what our soldiers are doing but they should still show them great respect.

They should get a national holiday,why?, that’s asking why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has a holiday. Veterans are to be respected to the highest degree, they fight for us, they die for us, just so we can have safe, free lives. Showing respect is the least we can do for how much they have done for us, if people disrespect veterans in the National Anthem then they should not be in this country.

Yes they deserve a national holiday. They deserve it because they have risked and lost lives. And when they get back a great percentage of them have PTSD/depression/ any other mental disorder from the trauma of war. They also get many physical disorders from the line of duty also. So that is why I think we should celebrate veteran's day.

We should respect our heroes for what they have gone through and lost. We do so like brother and sister, we bring thanksgiving. When we are protected, they are held over our shoulders for victory.
