Veterans are important to the world. These brave men and women fight for the freedom of our country. Everyday you can honor veterans, but especially on days that are dedicated to them you should show your support by putting your American flag out. Memorial Day and Labor Day are the only national holidays dedicated for our soldiers and veterans of our nation.
Having only two days detected to the honor and remembrance of our veterans is not enough for what they do for our country. There should be a veterans honor month. Veterans honor month would be similar to black history month. This month is detected to the heroes of our country. It would also be to remember those who died for our country. Every day in that month people will have their flags hung outside on their flagpole or door. If one of your family members is away from home serving your country you can tie a yellow ribbon around a tree outside your house to signify there solidarity with soldiers in battle.
On the third Tuesday of that month everyone in town would gather for a big parade. All veterans and soldiers who lived in town would be part of the parade. When they marched by everyone would stand quietly with their hand on top of their heart, hats off their head, and sing the national anthem as the American flag is held high in the air.
So the next time you see someone in uniform go up to them and thank them for their service. Thank them for protecting us from war in our country, and for keeping our world safe and civilized. We need a veterans honor month so they know that we appreciate their services to our country.
