VETERANS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

By Lindsey Kimble

We should appreciate our veterans because they are very important.  Without our veterans our world could be drastically different.  They represented our county while they were away from their homes, families, and friends.

If our veterans had not won as many wars as they have, the United States could be extremely different.  We might be ruled by a different country or have a different form of government.  We might not even be called the United States and we could even have less freedom.

Our veterans had to go to a new place where they probably had never been before.  They were also with new people that they most likely did not know for very long.  Plus, they were away from their homes and families.  Even with all these circumstances, our veterans tried to represent our county.

This is why I feel our veterans are very important.  They tried to represent our county as best they could, with new people and in new places.  Without our veterans our world might be incredibly altered.
