Veterans set America free by fighting for what they believed. Our fore fathers paid the price, because they wanted something bad enough they were willing to go to war for it - that is how our veterans set America free.
             If you were in their place, would you do the right thing and fight for something you believed in? So in the words of John F. Kennedy, "Don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." If someone is willing to die for his country then that man deserves to be thanked & honored for what he did.
             On June 6, 1944, 150,000 men landed on the beaches of France, sad to say that many of them would never return home to their families, but what they were fighting for was worth it. In the Civil War, they were fighting for something they both believed. Even if they were fighting for the South at the time, they were fighting for something they believed in. The North were fighting to free the slaves, because every one deserves the right to be free. Those of them who fought to free the slaves were making America free for everyone. That is how veterans made America free for me. In November of 1775, fighting broke out in America. We stood up for what we believed in, and that is how America won its freedom.
             It is so amazing to me that our veterans were willing to do something so great as to risk their lives for their families and for themselves. Veterans made America free for you and me. If people were willing to give up their lives for something they believed in that bad, it must have been worth fighting for. "The weak do what they must, the strong do what they will".
             We should take the time to honor the people who were fighting to make our world a better place for you and me, and even the children of our future. So for those people who gave their lives for my freedom, I want to say thank you for what you did - for fighting for what they so strongly believed....
