·       Throughout the research for Veterans Day, I feel that it did deserve to be a holiday so people can realize what our brave Veterans did to fight for our country. Veterans were willing to risk their lives for us and our country. I think we should take time on Veterans Day to appreciate these Veterans. They’ve done so much for us that we should show respect to them as showing honor.  Also showing respect for those families who has lost their sons in the war. I would really like to thank these Veterans for fighting for our country. The least we can do is pray for those who lost during the war and congratulate those who survived the war. Without them fighting for us, who knows what can happen to our country. These brave Veterans deserve to be shown respect not only on Veterans day but every day.
