Why I Value Veterans Essay

480 Words2 Pages

Dear Valued veterans/protesters, thank you for the amazing gift that you have brought America. I think that the freedom and qualities really isn’t appreciated enough that you veterans have brought our country. A soldier is a skilled warrior who is willing to serve for their country. There are lots of things that the veterans brought to America, the biggest one is freedom, another one is to vote. I think people should value the veterans a little more.

Some of the veterans around the 1800’s fought for the things in the 13 amendments, (some examples are freedom of speech, press, to vote, and assemble). A lot people act like America came with these freedoms but the veterans are the reason. If you went to a place like North Korea any person cant vote there’s this thing called the the SPA (Supreme People's Assembly) basically any person can’t vote in North Korea and we should be more appreciative that we can in the USA. Another freedom is that you can be any religion. In the revolutionary war the U.S soldiers fought the British and won (as we know). But if we didn’t everyone would of been Catholic. The United States has the freedom for anyone …show more content…

Flash forward around 65 years people like Martin Luther king Jr started protesting this. He kept protesting and protesting… (we all know the rest). But anyway we are now lucky to have a country that isn’t like how America used to be. Because all of the people that are in this country need an education, not whites in 1 school and blacks in another. People needed (and still do) to go to school and learn to read and write or just learn essential things. People need to set up a career by getting an education. It was a very unneeded and stupid idea when people separated blacks and whites. I’m glad to have Martin Luther King Jr and other Protesters who gave blacks freedoms like

Rebellion, revolution, boycotting and even riots, have led to tensions between the two races. Additionally, desegregating schools led to a learning gap between black and white students. The Constitution states that no state can make the law that takes away the rights and privileges of citizens making them immune to it. Desegregation of public places should be allowed because it is inequitable to separate humans based on the color or pigmentation of their skin. Segregation has caused an increase in marches, riots, and boycotts.

The Board of Education was one of the life changing moments of the civil rights movement to help establish the “separate but equal” clause. Although most people found it unfair for a child to be denied education the community wanted to do something. Without the NAACP people would have not known that school were breaking the law. “ When the case went to the Supreme Court, Marshall argued that school segregation was a violation of individual rights under the 14th amendment” (Williams 1). Not only was separating blacks from whites wrong and unfair but also is breaking the law.

I myself have to think sometimes about what other people might be going through, even though we have freedom over here, there are many wars happening and many people losing their lives. To me, a veteran is a hero in disguise that live among ordinary people and live ordinary lives. Veterans are people who make sure that when we die, we will die in peace on the very soil where they have walked. They dedicate themselves to defend a nation

African Americans have been oppressed since slavery, and have been trying to change that one step at a time. Public facilities before 1896 were heavily segregated due to the fact that the social class system placed one race above another. Education had, and still has, a huge impact on a child's life. Everyone wants an equal opportunity to succeed and prosper in life, and to do that, a good education is needed. Just before Brown v. Board, only one in every seven African Americans received a high school degree, whereas one in every three white people received a high school degree (Brownstein and National Journal).

In conclusion, we should always remember those who fought and are still fighting for us not just one time a year but everyday. We should be thankful for a veteran, because we have freedom to do the things we love where some countries do not get that privilege. We can hunt , fish, play basketball and see our friends and family. Some countries don’t get the freedom that we do.

The fight for desegregation has been a continuous fight for African Americans ever since their freedom in the 1860s. In the early 20th century, prejudice against African Americans skyrocketed with an early introduction to Jim Crow laws being forced upon African Americans forcing them to be segregated. After many years, the African American people were fed up and challenged one such Jim Crow law that forced schools to be segregated, and this court case was Brown v Board of Education. This case ruled that segregation at school was unconstitutional, and that schools shouldn’t be segregated. The Brown decision failed to desegregate and to improve the lives of African Americans by limiting education and social standards.

Don't all students deserve the right to an equal education? Most people would agree that they do; however, this was not the case during the 1950s in the United States. During this period, the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement aimed to end racial segregation that had persisted since the end of America's Reconstruction. Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation in the South, and past court case precedents justified segregation in public facilities, including public schools. This continued until one case arose and challenged these practices.

During the civil rights era, segregation divided public education by race, an aggravating system for African Americans. At the same time as activists such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were fighting for fair treatment, a strong group of parents and their schoolchildren brought the issue of segregation in public schools to the supreme court. This powerful collection of cases eventually led to major changes in the civil rights movement with the invalidation of laws restricting the rights of African Americans in the US. During the 1950s in the south, public schools were segregated, meaning black and white children could not attend the same school under the principle “separate but equal.”

I have a few people in my family that are veterans. Their service means alot to me. I admire them for their for their bravery and loyalty to their country.

To me veterans need to be honored every day for their service.

Ninety-eight years ago, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice was declared between Germany and the Allied Nations in World War I. One year later, it was celebrated as Armistice Day to honor the cause of world peace. After World War II and the Korean War, it was renamed Veterans Day, dedicated to American veterans from any war. The transition from Armistice Day to Veterans Day seems appropriate, for we would not have peace if we did not have veterans. But the implication that veterans are mere preservers of order is a vast misrepresentation; they do much more for our nation.

The US has grappled with many questions about society’s obligations as to whether or not to offer services and benefits to the men and women in the armed forces. Supporters argue that helping veterans will help the society as whole and opponents argue that we shouldn’t be increasing our federal government spending in repaying veterans. Although I do see where people can argue that we are spending too much money on helping veterans after war, I believe that the government owes them for what they have done for the country, despite the cost. The government owes certain benefits to veterans because the men and women in the armed forces deserve to be welcomed home with a generous system of services for what they have done for the country. Helping veterans goes way back all the way to the 1600s.

There is no unanimity when it comes to defining frugal innovations. The term “frugal innovation” became popular after a special report in The Economist on innovation in emerging markets. It said that, “frugal innovation or constraint-based innovation is not just a matter of exploiting cheap labor (though cheap labor helps). It is a matter of redesigning products and processes to cut out unnecessary costs” (Woolridge, 2010). While Sehgal, Dehoff and Panneer (2010) observed that frugal innovation is “powerful and ultimately essential approach to developing products and services in emerging markets.”
