Lisa's Essay

This is Lisa's Veteran's Day Essay!   Great Job Lisa on being selected to represent Ms. Voigt's Homeroom for the Veteran's Day Celebration!  We hope your essay is picked to read in the Veteran's Day Ceremony!



Veteran’s Day
                Veteran’s Day is the day to honor the Veterans for what they have done for us.  It is a great way to celebrate and say thank you to the Veterans of America.  The first Veteran’s Day was on November 11, 1919, which was one year after World War I ended.
                A Veteran is a person who fights for their country.  A Veteran also protects people from harm.  They have risked their lives for us and America. They help us by fighting and watching over our country.  We are protected so that no one will attack us.   We honor Veterans by saying thank you to them. It is also nice to shake their hands and say thank you for what they have done, even though a simple hand shake is not enough of a thanks. 
                Veterans make us proud to be American because they are fighting and protecting our country.  They sacrifice themselves for us and for our safety.  They work their hardest and toughest of us and they try their best every single day.  We can say thank you and honor them for fighting for us.
                Thank you to all Veterans for protecting us and our country.  We are proud of all of your work and proud to be American.  It’s great that you are doing your best and working hard to keep us, our country, and our family safe.  Our country appreciates you for protecting us and risking your life for us.  Thank you again for all that you do.
