I would like to give a big THANK YOU to all the veterans who have served the United States. Over the years, I have grown to appreciate more and more everything that they have done for this country. They have fought and defended this country, our Constitution, and our rights – and for that I will be eternally grateful. Because of what they have done, I am able to live here in America, a country where we can be free. Veterans have inspired me to stand up for my beliefs and to defend the rights that I have, because if we do not defend our Constitution and our rights, then the sacrifices that they all made will be for nothing.
I would like to give special thanks to my dad, who served as
a navigator in the U.S. Navy for 4 years. My dad has been such a role model to
me and hearing about his time in the navy has been inspiring and has made me more thankful for veterans. I’m proud to call
him my hero.

nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the
brave.” —Elmer Davis
