Patriotic Essay

Our veterans have sacrificed so much while and after serving. They have gone through mental sickness, losses of friends, and even some of their body parts.

Veterans have gone through hell and back to put it nicely. Most of our veterans come home with mental sicknesses like PTSD or shellshock. The term of shell shock came from World War I when they were bombarding the trenches. There are few treatments for our veterans today.

            A lot of veterans have given their lives and limbs. They have seen friends die right next to them. Their families heard from mail that they died half way across the world. Like in World War Two on D-day on how we stormed the beaches and had all of these losses.

            One-sacrifice veterans make is to miss their children being born. They may miss their parent’s funeral. Their friends might move on and forget. They’ll go to college, get married, and move on.


            Now do you know how much our veterans have sacrificed for our freedom? Good now that you know go and thank them. Be nice and also welcome them home. Especially the Vietnam War vets.
