Next Tuesday is Veterans Day that means two things 1. no school for me 2. we get to honor the veterans of our Armed Forces. The reason why I think this holiday is important is because the veterans have sacrificed for our freedom. Some have sacrificed their life and some have sacrificed in other ways. Soldiers and Marines have to spend allot of time away from their friends and family. They can be sent to other countries with out much noticed, even if they don't want to go. Some times they are sent for training and also they might have to go to war. When a soldier is sent to war it can be scary. They can be shot or hurt in battle. Usually they are in a strange and that can be scary too.
My grandfather Papa served as a Marine in World War 2 he was very proud to be called a Marine. My grandfather Pa served as a Marine also he served during the Korean War. He loved walking in parades especially the Veteran`s Day parade where he proudly represented the Marine Corps.
My Uncle Matty served for 22 years as a Army Ranger he was a decorated soldier who served in both Iraq wars. He was also a drill sargent who trained Army Rangers.
I am very proud of both my grandfathers and my Uncle and how they served in our military.
In Loving Memory of Henry Anthony Smith my grandfather
It is interesting that a couple of people in your family are in the army. Are you going to go in the army?
