Hello I'm a South Korea student and I'm not good at English
but I enjoy to watch CNN Student News everyday.
I think It will be a hard time to soldiers to sacrifice for homeland.
South and North Korea fought for a long time, and many people died.
I'm so sad to share Korea to two. However wars are so dangerous to every one, and need to die many people .
We have to think about their achievements and thanks to them.
(Sorry, sorry Carl Azuz, ㅠㅠ☜This mark means for cry, I'M NOT
GOOD AT ENGLISH!.)

dear veterans, thank you for all you done

I would like to thank each and every veteran out there, whether they be in Afghanistan, here in the U.S., or even retired. Veterans are standing up for our country and are willing to do anything for it. Thank you veterans.

just to let you knoe that seems really cool that we have a certian day just for them

I think that veterans need more respect than we give them. Without them we probably wouldn't be in the USA

I have family members and very close family that I would like to thanks because they have left our country when they didn't have to to fight in war and fight for the rights of U.S. citizens. There aren't many citizens that have the heart to do that these days and I personallt appreciate it.

I think Veterans Day is celebrated to make up for the times that the U.S army fought for our country and died. Because there are a lot of cases were the people who fight in war are traumatize by what they saw. And there mentally or physical challenge because what they have did .I think every country should have a Veterans Day for there army did for them.

Dear veterans, We thank you for giving your lives for me and my country.

Dear Veteran,
I really appreciate your service and for keeping me free. I never realized how important veterans were until my teacher talked to my class about them. I really want to thank you for keeping our country free and for keeping our people safe. So thank you very much!!!!

Daer Veteran,
I really appreciate your service for fighting for our country and its people. My dad fought for our country to. I wrote this to appreciate you .Thank you so much.

I realy feel like yall have made a big difrence to every person in are comunity. I realy love wut yall have been doing. Wen ever i think of veterans it makes me think of what my dad has done and wut yall have done for us. I realy thank every one who has served already or if ur fiting for us now. I thank you all for serving.

I want to shout out both of my brave grandfathers: August who served in the Army and Glenn who served in the Navy! They are my heroes as are all others who serve every day, putting their lives on the line. Here's the peace!

Good Job, Joe!

One of the friends of our family, Sandy, is serving right now for the Navy over seas. Right now, the base is on lockdown due to "foul play" by some of the soldiers. We are all cheering her on here at home.

I would like to thank all the veterans for fighting for our country and their rights. I apreciate everything you do . especially putting your life on the line for me. I wish you good health and plenty love and support.

I wish to shout out to my great uncle who is serving right now over seas, and everyonr else who is serving with him. I hope you get to come home soon because i miss you. I hope you are safe. I love and miss you!

My name is Laura. I am a member of the civil air patrol which is an Air force based program for kids from age 12 to 18. Being in this program I have been able to recognize the great things the veterans have done for us. One thing I am going to do to salute the veterans is the place a wreath on every veterans grave in my hometown. This is a thank you to all the veterans wherever they may be, in heaven, or still alive to this day. God bless you all.

Thank you for saving our country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks A Lot

Mr. Shurtleff is an English Teacher and was in the Vietnam War. He doesn't talk about it much anymore but we all know that he was brave, strong, and a very courageous soldier. He is very happy and lives his life to the fullest. He is very funny and a great teacher.

My uncle Lane was in the Iraq war flying the Black Hawk Helicopter. He has been over there many times flying it. He is very kind and a great man.

I wanted to thank all the Veterans for sacrificing everything for our country. Veterans, I beleive, deserve alot more than just a "thank-you." I wanted to thank my Great grandfather (World war II) for all that he did for our country. He is a survivor from the War. Every Veteran out there deserves a Thank you!

Thank you for your service. It means alot to me. The fact that you risk your life for our country is really meaningful to me. Some of my family members were in The Marines and The Army.

Sincerely....
Thank You For Your Service!

I would like to thank my mom and my grandpa for their service in the army. my mom was in the army and my grandpa was in the korean war. i know it was hard for them to sacrifice everything they love like their family or anything else they love. they were very brave and courage to serve. i would also like to thank anybody else who served in any branch,and people who are serving now.

You fight. You go through pain. You protect us. You endure. You do all this to serve the country you love, and it's not an easy task. You veterans have sacrificed your life to fight the evil that poisons our country, and that is what I define as bravery. You stand up for what's right, but sometimes you lose your life in the process. Courage, rspect and honor. That is what you show when you fight to keep our long lasting freedom. for this, I salute you.

I would like to thank my Grand Father who was in service. He was a brave man that helped change the U.S and the millions of lives in the war.

I thank all veterans for all they have done and for giving us freedom I thank them for sacrificing there lives and there time.

Thank you all for fighting for freedom

It's amazing that these people are VOLENTERING THEIR LIFE! for us when they are not required to do so. If that was me and when I sighned up and the guy said that you might die working her I would be scared.

My mom and Uncle are part being a veteran. I want her to know that i love what she does . She will be going to afghanistan to fight real soon.

I think its realy brave of them to go and fight in the war.

My thanks to the veterans:
Thank you for serving for our country.

Shout out to my grandpa Leroy he served in vietnam and germany. He is now blind but he's tha best.

I would like to thank all the Veterans that have done what they can to serve our country. It takes alot of brave and strong men to put our lives in their hands and die for us or possibly live. There are many of us that live in the countries that are fighting and may not realize what veterans have done to this world and our lives. If it wasnt for Veterans that we have then we would all possibly be dead because alot of us is scared to fight in wars and risk our lives. I know i am and thats why im thankful to have my four family members that past away last year that fought in different wars for for risking their lives for others they dont even know. THANK YOU VEERANS FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE!!

My 6th grade class would like to thank Colonel Walter for serving our country. We are very excited to hear his stories next week at the Great American Teach-in! We salute you!

I would say thank you because they helped us fight in war and represents the US.

Dear Veterans, only you know the experience of serving, and by serving, you have impacted people’s lives. I want to say thank you- for all you’ve done and been through and for all you will continue to do. You are remembered.

I have a cousin he is in Afagan i would say thank you for everything he has done and what he will do in the future! I love him and give him good luck.
Hannah

I Just wanted to thank all the men and women who have fought and died in our armed forces! Alot of grandparent where in the armed forces and one very close to me he is in the retired army and he works in fort.

I think that we should be thankful for our veterans because without them there would be no freedom and that means we would be under dictator ship

This is a poem i wrote to my Brother That is in the USA Army.

My hero is my brother Mike,
He fights for our freedom,

When he isn’t awake,
He thinks about others,
His soldiers and us,
Never himself,

He had a chance,
To be something else,
He chose the army over any,
At the age of 21,

Risking his life for ours in Iraq,
Leaving his family behind,
for a year to Korea he went,

He came back,

Tears of joy and love,
Filled our eyes that day...

No one will ever know,
How proud my dad is,

His little boy grew into a soldier,
Fighting for what is ours,

Some people take that for granted,
Not us!

By: Mike’s little baby sister
“I dedicate this to Mike, will always support my big brother Mike,
He’s a hero!”

To all those that have served our country, those have risked thir life for us and those that lost their life to protect us, I SALUTE YOU AND I THANK YOU. Although it doesn't mean much, I would still want them to know how much I appreciate what they have done for us, so we can continue on living and have our freedoms. It can't be an easy decision to make, having to leave your friends and families knowing that there is a possibiblity you might not return... They are all very brave souls, true patriots and we owe them everything. For the families that have lost ther loved ones, I am sorry and my heart is with you. So, in the end all i can say is thank you for allowing me to live with my frieedoms.

Even though I don;t personally know anyone is the armed forces, I still wish to say "Thank You" for all they have done in keeping out rights and freedom ever prevalent. You're defending the country for all of us and I greatly appriciate it!

~Utau~

dear all the veterans in the world

thank you all for risking your lives to make our world a better place.

To start off, Veterans Day will be a joyful and sad day for many. The meaning of this day is to reminisce and appreciate the fallen soldiers who have served in some way ; this is also for those who didnt make it alive. This day is made to recognize the true patriots that serve our country daily across the border. This is for the true heroes.

This is for the people who can truly and wholeheartdley say that they love their country enough to serve and protect it. I wuld like to give thanks to all the men and women who have sacrificed everything in order to serve and protect us. Not to many individuals are appreciative of how hard you all work and sacrifice. THANK U TO ALL THE TRUE HERO'S FROM YOUR VERY OWN FELLOW CITIZEN....GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!

Many people don't actually know the true meaning of veteran's day, However I take this time and moment to thymine all veterans for being brave and representing our country.Being a veterans is a huge title and it represents bravery for our country: the United States of America. Veterans take pride in there country and are willing to fight for there country. There are not a lot of people that will be put there life on the line for there country but because veterans are willing to do that they deserve all honor and respect.
I have no relatives that are veterans but I still understand the severity and duty of a veteran.

I would like to thank my aunt and uncle who have been over there for a long time. I am very proud of them.

i dont know anyone thats has been in the war, but i would like to say thank you so much for fighting for us. All the Veterans are my......

HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Veterans symbolize a lot about our country and im pretty sure that all veterans should take pride in that. I would truly like to thank all veterans for the hard work and endurance they have put into this country.

Veterans Day might not have a ring to it but it is a day to salute. Veterans Day should be called No War Day and all over the world people support their troops that have protected their freedom.

I would like to thank all of the brave men and women who fought for our freedom and if they didn't, then I wouldn't be the same, so thank you veterans for all of your good work for our great country!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Is what I say. I appreciate how much theses people do for us. They give up a lot of their lives to help America to freedom. On veterans day I will definitely think about these people, and how much they do for us. That I s what veterans day is all about and It has a great purpose. Thanks to all veterans, and solders!!!!!

My name is Goodyt, I’m a ninth grader. Even though i was not born in the U.S i acknowledge the sacrifices Americans have done for us in the past.

The sacrifice that you gave or give every day is something we should all be grateful for.

To everyone in the armed forces, God Bless you and what you have given to our country. Happy Veterans Day!

I would just like to give the gratitude of my heart and a salute to those men and women who give their lives and time for the continuation of freedom. Their efforts allow me to make my own choices and mistakes, worship the Lord, and live a life that is free. My heart is with them and nothing I can say can really share the thankfulness I feel towards the men and women in the armed forces.

I will like to thank all veterans for the actions and sacrifices they have made for us by resolving our conflicts peacefully. Thank you so much we'll always love you guys

They fight (or fought) in ears to save and help US.Their not boastful and they care about LOTS more people then them! They don't care if their funnier or cooler or even nicer then anybody else.All of the veterans help US. They won't hurt US. They work together to HELP US!

I would like to give a Shout-Out to all veterans and mostly Uncle Tito and his Vietnam Veteran friends.They were treates badly,and I would like to give them a big,warm welcome!

you rock god belss

Okay... So, I'm really not that good at apologizing/thanking. I'm not an etiquette girl. =)
And so, I guess all I gotta say is: Thanks SOSOSOSOSOSO much for giving us freedom, and I'm sorry you had to go through a war to buy it for us. I would help if I could.

Oh, and you other people write awesome poems. X3

I wanna thank all the US veterans for everything they've done for the country. You guys all make us proud to be americans. We all look up to your bravery and courage. We all know freedom isn't free, and you have paid the price to protect that right of ours. Thank you so much!

I think the veterens are risking there lives to help people and no matter what those veterrens are protecting AMERICAN CITIZENS which means of course they deserve to be saluted.

Thank you to all the veterans for your contributions to our freedom. Thank you for dedicating your time and your lives to keep us safe. You are an example for everyone in America!

Coming from a Marine family, I am greatly appreciative of all the hard work and sacrifice of my father and his fellow Marines. I know several young men who are in the Corps now. Congratulations you are part of an elite group who are willing to put their lives on the line for their country. Congratulations to all of the Marine families who support their Marine. I am very proud to be a "Marine brat". Semper Fi !!!

Veterans Day don't get me started with how great it is. i can't wait. our soldiers are great. GO AMERICA.

I am so greatful that we have soldiers because the stand up for us, they fight for us, and sadly soome even die for us. Well, I am just so happy that I have so many people watching out for me and for others.

I think we should be thankful for them because they helped us. They made us safe.

I am really thankful for all the Veterans fought for us. The Veterans have protected and helped our lives so much and I really really really appreciate it so so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!

I think the vererans and sodiers are nice for fighting for our country. They should be respected a lot and be rewarded somehow

I'd like to salute Gabe for coming to america from Mexico and helping out country. He has been very helpful!!!

I would like to say a thank you for all the people who served in the U.S Armed Forces. I don`t know anybody who joined th Armed Forces,but I am grateful for being protected.

I think that is a good idea to have people who are fighting for us just to protect us. I think it is a good idea to be able to suppport them because they did so much for us so its the least we could do for them. They must be very brave just to do that for our country. We should be doing all we can just to support them because of what they have been doing for us.

P.S Peace, love and happiness is so important

i would like to acknowledge the fact that i have been working with a wonderful person named tammy. she is a veteran and i have learned so much about her this past year. she is definitely something else in the phrase. we work well together and i would just like to thank her for putting up with me and my fellow coworkers after this whole time. thank you tammy

We had a great ceremony at our school this morning. (I am a teacher) The students seemed to appreciate the veterans that took the time to attend.

We would like to send a shout out to all of our Vetern's, who are our real heros. Each day we are reminded of the sacrifices that you have made to keep us free.

I would like to salute my dad. He was a Vietnam Veteran. He died from cancer that was caused by his Agent Orange exposure. He was proud to serve his country even as he was dying. I do not think I would be where I am today without his guidance and support. I miss him dearly and I know that we would enjoy the grandkids that he never got the opportunity to meet. Also I would like to salute all Veterans because without their selfless act we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms we have today.

I think the salute to veterans is a great idea. The reason I think it is a great idea is because it is salute to remember all of the soilders and other important people who contributed to make the U.S. what it is now. I it is also so that we can remeber all of the soilders that died in war to make sure that this country gets the respect it deserves.

I would like to thank all the veterans for protecting and fighting for our country and for being so brave and having courage to fight in wars.

Thank you so much for putting your life on the line for the Millions of people who live here...that is so heartfelt and brave... and it would be our honor to call you our hero... thankyou sooo sooo much.

I thank all the solider who fight for my freedom. I also thank them for risking their life for our country. My hero is my uncle Jermiah.

I dont know how to start this but i guess the best way would be to say THANK YOU. Thank you for everything youve done to make this a safer and freer place for all of us. I dont think there are words capable to exaplain how gratefull i am to have someone fighting for me and eveyone.
Not everyone is capable and willing to fight and stand up for a cause. And not everyone understands the bravery and courage you need to give up your life for others. I thank you for risking your life to save America.
*for all those lost....REMEMBER

I want to thank veterans for all the things they have done to help America. It's really helpful knowing there is people out there fighting for our freedom. Some people dont appreciate what they do. If people dont appreciate they should try being on the front lines fighting for people they dont even know and probably will never know!! Once again, thank you veterans for all you've done for us. I think I speak for America when I say "God Bless YOU!!!!!

I would like to give thanks to all the veterans who have died and fought for us and all the live ones too. Without your strength and braveness this country would be a squeamish jellyfish. It would not be strong and what is today. Everyone in this country is appreciative of your bravery. Your services are very dear to us. Without your services we would not be what we call our country of freedom, because that’s what our veterans are fighting for-freedom!
My cousin and a close friend are in the armed forces and they are missed dearly. We love them all and there isn't a soldier or veteran who wasn't loved. We miss those who have given their lives and those who are still away at the other side of the world. We are strong and hope for a safe return. Even though sometimes we wish you guys weren’t over in other countries far away from loved ones, you guys are fighting for our freedom and we salute to you. Again, thank you and you guys are greatly missed!

i am glad that we have veterans day to celebrate all the people that served in the U.S Armed Forces. i know some people that were in the U.S Armed Forces and I'm proud to know them. they fought for us and they deserve to be recognized on this special day. many people fought for us and they died. by thanking them we are showing that we appreciate what they have done for us. they are important and they should know it.

Not many people are brave enough to join the U.S Armed Forces. the people that did were. they had to go through a lot in order to go to places and fight for what was right. on this day they should all receive medals so they can be recognized for their hard work and for them to know that they are wonderful people. they deserve this day to be dedicated for them.

I appreciate it and hope they do good I'm also happy because they do this for our country.

Collin and Riley

Military are fallen angels to protect everyone, I thank god that they sent them to us. To protect us from harm, and well as others. We have soldiers who are young,old, black,white, no matter what, they want to protect us. They risk their lives for ours, and without them America would be country of fear. They turn boys into men, the reason I know this is because my brother is in the national guard. He was a trouble maker, but he changed and he amazes me. I salute all the soldiers, and god bless the families who have lost a loved one. the army sacrifices themselves for us and I bless they do. Fort hood will be remembered, and thank the other veterans who fought for us for the freedom, and helping other. You guys are amazing. Thank you again.

I would like to start off by saying thank-you for all the work you guys have done for our country. We wouldn't be where we are today without the bravery and courage from all the soldier's!
You have done so much there are no amount of words i can express that says how much I thank you guys!
My grandfather served overseas and i have a cousin currently overseas! As much as we want this war over when they all return i would just shake there hands look them straight in the eye and say thank you for serving our county.
Thank you Sincerely ...

THANKS GUYS FOR SUPPORTING AND GETING THE MESSAGE OUT. TO ALL VETARENS BE PROUND YOUR THE REASON US THE YOUTH HAVE FREEDOM.
-THANK YOU

My heartfelt thank you goes out to my daughter, Sarah Secor, and all the other men and women who give us our freedom. Each and everytime I see a person in uniform, I go up to them and shake their hand. I thank them for serving our country. We should not only honor them and recognize them on Veterans day, but everyday of the year. They endure so much for all of us,americans my thanks is endless. God bless our soldiers and god bless america.

i like to thank my big brother and his squad for fight for our freedom especilly my old brother to serve for 4 years thnks for serving for us

dear veterans i really really thank you for risking your life for our country my grandpa was in world war 2. he is just like you he risked his life for our country. alot of people died in the world war 2. an i was really sad because he died not to long ago so i thank you for risking your life for our country!!!

Thank you vetrans for doing all you hace done. Thank You so much

I love what the veterans in America have done for the people from World War 2 to the gulf war,the veterans are the best.

I think that all the Veterans should be thanked , but i also think that many people think that Veteran's Day is only to honor all the people in Iraq. I disagree and think that the reason we celebrate is to honor all the people who have ever served for our country, including the families of those soldiers overseas. So, I believe that in Veterans Day, we should thank the soldiers, the families, and all the people who have been soldiers.

Veterans,

Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice for the protection of our country.

i would like to thank all the veterans in the past, present and the future. they are the worlds heroes. it doesnt matter what country they are from to me. some people sont appreciate veterans lie they should. i live with my very own veteran and he is my father.
i appreciate veterans not only because im related to one. a person does not have to go to war to be a veteran like people think. veterans day is such a special day. everyone recognizes the veterans and show their support.

thamk you, veterans for fighting in the war for us. i think it is good that we have a holiday to celebrate them fighting in the war.

I like veterans day, because my father is a veteran. He served in the United States Marine Corps.

Today, my school is saluting veterains by having a spirit day

I think it is nice to celibrate everyy troop

woonded for worriers sounds like a great idea.

i woud say thank you so much!

I'd like to thanks all the men and women who have left their home and family to fight for us. People who might have left far more. If not for you, what would be of us? maybe by now we be talking japanese or have a British accent. You protect our freedom as a whole. We might have been living like in china with no freedom of speech of religion. I can truly admire that you would go to a distant country and fight for every individual who you might never know, and even protecting us all as a whole country. Admire that you would put your own life in danger. Danger beyond what we here could imagine. I want you to know that I'm thankful for what you done or did, same as many people that look at you as heros or roll models and might one day be just like you. Thanks you Veterans.

Veterans Day is such a important day for many especially for those who served this country who are still alive but its just as important to those families who has lost a loved one because they served this country. I really a paricipate the veterans who has served this country because without them i wouldnt be writing this blog and i wouldnt have the freedom to do the things i can do now. Its sad to just think of all the wars we have battled and how many men and women we lost and all the pain and suffering the families had to go through but the families of these "warriors" (thats what i call them) should be so proud because their loved one died for the freedom of country and protected us from any danger even though the knew nothing about the people they are saving. They are the most courageous, brave, sincere, and caring people i know....even though i dont really know all of them.

there is nothing much i can do to thank all the veterans, so i am writing this post. I feel very thankful, yet sorry for those who has sacrificed their lives for this great nation. Granting us freedom, they are dead and long gone, but hopefully they wouldn't suffer from regrets. It is our duty to make our nation "more perfect" and that is the only way we could thank them and let them rest in peace. and our struggles, big or small, at the end, makes a big change to our country. we should try our best at every small things, every day for to remember those who have died for this nation

and not only for those who have died, but to those who are putting themselves in the way of harm right now, to protect us

I would like to thank all thoughs brave men and women who risked their lives for our country. They are the soul behind america and should always be recognized for all their hard work. They were brave enough to do what many of us could not. Once again thank you for fighting for our freedom.

to my dad and all i would like to say thank you for your brave souls

I am in a school.Beyond this school is a flag. Inside that flag is a journey, hard and strong. This journey has been taken by many people, willing to risk their lives that this nation may live and prosper in the aspects of serenity and security. You are one of those people. A great many thanks and tears have been shed for you, but nothing we do can ever match the great sacrifice you are making. So now we say thank you for the blood you have shed and the lives you have given so this nation can prosper.

We would like to say thank you to all of our soldiers, men and women, that have helped serve and protect this country. Another thank you to the ones that gave their lives and are in heaven with God Almighty.
Thank you so much, you're all in our prayers.

I'd like to thank all the veterans because they are brave enough to risk their lives to fight for this country. They sacrificed and went through horrible and tough wars just so we can be free and enjoy this country. It takes a lot of courage to risk losing everything for this country and that's why veterans are so special because many people wouldn't do that. Thus, my special thanks to all the veterans, thank you for everything.
Additionally, I would like to thank all the veterans for keeping us safe in this country and I would like to wish luck to all men and women who are fighting right now in Iraq. Also, I wanted to say that I really appreciate all veterans because of what they have done and so salute to all the veterans!!!!!!!!

I am in school. Beyond this school is a flag. Inside this flag is a journey, hard and strong.

So now we say thank you for the blood you have shed and the lives you have given, that this nation may prosper.

my grandpa was a soilder in world war 2. And thanks to everyone who protected us from sudden death or really bad engerys.

I would like to thank all the veterans who fought for our country. I am honored to live in a country with such wonderful people. I have family members that are veteran and I thank them all the time. It feels good to have people who would put their lives on the line for the people in this country. I mean they don't even know us!

Some people take the veterans or even Veteren's Day for granted. I kind of feel sorry for those people because they don't know what the veterans have done for us. I don't think I would put my life on the line for people who don't give me the respect I deserve. They are really strong people and we love our veterans!

I would like to say thank you to all the veterans who have fought for this country. You guys go through so much its probably impossible to even imagine. It takes many brave men and women like you guys to take on a task like this. You guys have so much detication and honor for this country, a thank you does not seem like enough. If it were not for you guys i think this country would be a total disaster.
You guys sacrafice so much, and for people you have never even met before. Its incredible. So much respect and honor is owed to you. You guys should know your country is proud of you(:
THANK YOU

Dear Veterans,
I want to thank all the men and women who have fought and died in our armed forces. If it wasn't for you that had fought in our wars then we would have never gained our independence. There are many of us that live in the countries that are fighting and may not realize what veterans have done to this world and our lives.

You are all considered the best troops of this world and will always bring hope to where ever you serve to every person. Thank you for the honorable service you all do to protect our lives and this nation.

I may not agree with war, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate and salute what the veterans have done for us. They've fought for our country, our rights, and our freedom. And for that, for risking their lives for us, I give all veterans my sincere and most heart-felt thanks for everything you've done for us in the past and everything that new and upcoming veterans are doing now.

My Uncle Arnie is a veteran, so I know how it is to worry about one. To want them to come home. But, he's home, and he's here to not only continue to inspire the family with his courage and experience, but to help me, personally, which my school and choices. So, from the bottom of my heart, Uncle Arnie, thank you for serving this country and helping all of us with our work and lives.

I want to give a solute to all the veterans out there. My dad is a veteran and i apreciate everything that all veterans have done for our country. I want to say THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE. Keep doing good... I thank GOD for those soldiers dying for us. Without them who knows what would have happened. I think that they are good people and they deserve to come back home. I thnik that they should be able to come back home on every holiday. They deserve to see there family for all there hard work. I mean they are the ones who saved our lives.

I would like to salute my brother and 2 of my cousins

I am not a person who believes in war but when it comes to fighting for our country our veterans and soilders put there have done a lot for use here at home. We as a country have fought lots of wars and most of them we won. We win becuase of our strong, brave and courageous soliders that we have out there. I give it upp to them because they go through so much. Killing people, people being killed, watching people get killed its a lot to take in.
I wish all the veterans in this country a happy veterans day because they deserve it more then anyone for putting their lives at risk. I unfortunately i do not know any veterans. If i did know one i would probably find some way to send them off to a resort on a tropical island so they can have some good qualiy time. Atfer all they deserve it .

this is a tributeto all troops of all forms most men on my dads side were military im happy for all their service and sometimes i wish that they didnt have to do it but i know that we wouldnt be free if they didnt but im glad they do even though they dont have to military men and wemen are th most unselfish brave and caring people there are and noone cann deny it my dad was in the gulf war and operation iraqie freedom. he saw many of his friends die but he kept goin didnt stop fighting everto me that is ture sacerfice no one but thoose who serve can understand that for. and fo that i thank you all who dare to go out there and serve fo what ever reason just thank you so much. i love u dad miss u and wish we were home with you not here

My name is Andrew. Over the summer my grandfather was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He died three weeks later. My grandfather served in WWII as a bridge builder. He was stationed in France, Italy, and Germany. He was 86 when he died. Every year before that he came to every Veteren's Day celebration at my school. He was very proud to have served his country in a time of need. The war helped him take great care of his family, he had five children, twelve grandchilden(including me), and his wife, my grandmother...
All throughout his years he's been loving and caring to all of us. The last thing that he said to me before he died was that I had a heart of gold, i'll never forget that moment. This November 11th 2009 was the first Veteren's that I understood. Today I realized how important these veterens really were to our country, I only wish my grandpa could've been there.

I think Veterans day is a great way to say thank you to those that served in the military and to those that still do. I think we should thank these people for risking their lives everyday for our country and our freedom!

If i saw a army guy or girl i would thank them becuase they help our country for freedom and for serving the country.

I thank the Veterans for fighting for lots of things, like freedom. My cousin's cousin is a veteran and my cousin's grandpa was one too. Veterans are a big help. They deserve this Veterans Day.

I Salute all veterans and all troops over seas defending our great nation. U guys are my heros

My friend is in the Army, Though I really didn't want her to go I knew deep down that it was the right thing to do for someone as brave as her. She is serving as a medic. I show a great amount of respect for any one who has served in the army in any way, for they have showed a true act of bravery. I give thanks for my world history teacher being in the army for he has the external and internal firm characteristics of a true soldier. He shows integrity, respect for his country, and intelligence with each and every one of his pupils about the world

I thank goodness for the valiant soldiers that put their lives on the line for America. I wouldn't know much about the army or anything like that, but I don't see the soldiers as fighters, but I see them as protectors and as warriors people who care about others. I grieve for the hundreds families that have lost a loved one in a war. The millions of soldiers fighting for everyone of the citizens freedom in the United States are very important for they are fighting for the one thing that America cares for the most... FREEDOM! Though it doesn't mean much but I express my strongest gratitude through these words, to show the thousands of veterans out in the U.S. that there are people out there that really cares and are thankful for what they have done for their country.

Veterns day is a special day for us and for other families because this day we Thanks the army for risking their life in the wars some of them did risk there life they died for us and for there nation because when they went to war they show bravest and strengh and other people won't do that some of the soldier died for us and they didn't even know us we should thanks them so much because deep in your heart you know that you wouldn't do it because your life is v alueable but the soldier that died they didn't think that way they just went to represent us and our nation and fight for what right and thats admiring. I thanks all of the soldiers from different army crew for being brave to risk there life for us and for fighting for us no matter what if we don't know yall but i will alwayz be thankful because i know that i wouldnt fight for other people or for the nation thankz a lot today is your days soldiers.

thank you for all the hard work and for helping our country! You should be proud of you self.

It’s incredible how one person can make a difference. The stability we have in our homes is all due to their astuteness and heroic effort to keep their country in the pedestal it deserves to stand on. America has gone through a long journey. from being the salvation of those looking for freedom to being the role model of the world. all of this can be thanked to those veterans whom protected and all still protecting the country with their blessings. i, thank their gallant actions and their every effort to shield our majestic country....America.

i would say thankyou and also try to help them by sending gifts for every holiday but also i have a grampa that sirved in the army a long time ago hes still alive but he has truble brething and walking

I'd like to thank all those soldiers, they are not just soldiers, but they are heroes, heroes that we all look up to, recognize and appreciate for their dedication, bravery and courage to stand tall and serve in the U.S. armed forces to fight for their country. I truly appreciate all the hard work that they have for this country, and all the obstacles that they faced for us, it is truly a pleasure to have such great heroes fight for us, and on this day i would like to thank them all, thank you veterans.

I want to say thanks to all of those veteran's including my history teacher he is also a veteran. These are people that fought for us and died for us. We all appreciate all the sacrifices that you guys made; I ofcourse haven't been through the things you guys went through but i still feel you. It must be really hard leaving your family members to fight in war for this country. Family member such as Wives, first born babies, daughters, son's, mothers, sisters, cousins, aunts ect.ect.ect.
My brother once thought of being in that position and fighting for this country but in way i'm kind of happy he didn't because, my heart would have literally stop pumping blood. I just wouldn't be able to live my life with all the worries. Thats why i also want to say thanks to all the family members that was brave enough to support these veterans to do what they do every day for all of us, thanks for being the reason for giving them that energy to strive and push harder to make it out alive to see your faces again someday and tell and show the whole world what they did and accomplished.

Thank you... Thank you very much!!!!!!!! :X :X:X:X:X

First i would like to say Happy Veterans day!!! I want to thank all women and men who served in the army forces. Today i took a moment of silence to recognize and acknowlegde the ones who have die to serve our counrty. You guys are very brave out there because honestly i would be too scare to go out there because its so dangerous. IF it wasn't for you guys i'm pretty sure we wouldn't be here today. Its because of you guys that we are here.

You guys are like so awesome and i reallyappreciate everything you do to our counrty. You guys fight in the war and a lot of you die or are like traumatize and that's very hard. I'm just thankful that we have people like you guys in the army and fight in the war for us. You guys don't even like know us but are willing to do anything for your country so thank you guys so much!!!

Veterans are importnant people. They are the ones who fought for us in a time of need. Had they not existed then the world would definitely have become much different than it is now. This world is full of bloodshed. And as brave men die we lie in our beds not realiseing what others are doing in order for us to remain there. I am grateful for what the soldiers are doing and know that they are fighting hard for what they belive in. If by some chance there is a veteran reading this then -Thank you-

I realy dont know any one right now in the army or at war but i had a uncle that was a veteran that when to war and his dead but i would wish the best to all those people that are there right now and that i al ways pray for each and every one of you all and that war could be over to but am going to keep praying into war is over love you all and here are people that never forget aboute you all!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you to all Veterans who served our Country. Thank you to all families who support all of our Armed Forces. Thank you!

my cousin is in the armed forces and i know how it feels to have someone very important gone 4 a long while so as long as u pray 4 them, they should be fine b/c God will take care of them.

Im sorry I did not get the chance to write my comment yesterday but I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who has served in the army or any branch of the military my heart goes out to everyone who has lost a family member in the the war and the wars before this last school year was my JR year and I lost my dad to the war in a car bombing and I know what they are going through and now my older sister is joining the Army Reserve and my cousin is in the U.S. Navy I miss you them all so much and cant wait tell my sister and cousin gets home

To all Veterans,
I truly admire you guys. you have serve for us in our counrty.
All veterans mean alot to us. we care and honor you guys.
Specailly on this specail day for you all. you all are blessings
and are important in historty.
we keep the ones resting in peace in our prayers and to all veterans
serving right now as well. Without all you guys this country wouldn't
be something. we will all be probably dead by now. Thank to all of you
we are alive and you guys protect each of us. god bless you!

First I would like to start by thanking all the Veterans for doing all they did to serve our country. It’s incredible how they risk their lives for ours I believe it takes a man to be very brave in order to do that. I’m pretty sure that less than half of the people that live in this country have even thought of those people that fight for our country and risk losing their lives and families. If it wasn’t for the veterans this country wouldn’t be where it is at right now. These men go thru extremely rough times. Such as pain, they fight to protect us.
They fight for what they believe is right from wrong and even though they might lose sometimes they don’t give up. Honor, respect , integrity are what these individuals have. I thank all those veterans that fought for our country and those that still are. Thanks for keeping this country’s freedom.

I say thank you to all the soldiers for figthing in wars and protecting us because some soldiers losse there lives fighting.

Today is Veterans Day and i would like to say Thank You to all the soldiers who dies for me at war and all of them who were wounded.I know that it was very hard to leave all of your family and friend and your home but you did it for a good reason and because you care.Who knows if u will be comign back but all of us are praying that u get home safely and that even if the soldiers are wounded or sick we still have to pray that they get home safely and thank god that they are still alive because they could have been dead,Thank you so much and i appreciate all of you soldiers for going to war for me.I know darn well i would not be the first to volunteer to go so i thank u dearly.

For first and foremost I'd like to thank all the veterans for everything they went through. They are very brave and strong people. These veterans fight for our freedom. We should be very thankful to live in a country where these veterans fight for us and for our right.
I am very thankful to live in America. We should take this day to remember and cherish everything these veterans did. If it weren't for them then who knows where we would be at now. Thank God for these veterans!

i WOULD LIKE TO START OFF BY SAYING THAT I APPLAUD ALL THE VETERANS FOR FIGHTING FOR OUR CIUNTRY. iT'S JUST SO NICE TO SEE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SERVE THEIR COUTRY. iT'S JUST SO UNFORTUNATE THAT SOME OF THEM DIE, BUT AT LEAST THEY DIE KNOWING THEY DID SOMETHING GOOD FOR THEIR COUNTRY.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY TO THE FAMILIES OF THE VETERANS THAT YOUR RELATIVES ARE IN MY PRAYERS. TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND FIGHT FOR WHAT THEY BELIVE IS SO HEROIC. THEY ARE ROLE MODELS FOR MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD AND THATS WHAT COUNTS.

I would want to thank all the veterans(including my uncle) for all they did. I understand they fought and died for this country. You guys/ladies have impacted lives.Im just glad that we had this day to honor you guys.

THANKS

I would like to say to all of our former veterans and our current fighters.....Thank you for Keeping all of the us safe...We all appreciate it! ...Thank you! We will always love you! Thanks for serving for us! I would like to thank all the Veterans that have done what they can to serve our country. It takes alot of brave and strong men to put our lives in their hands and die for us or possibly live. There are many of us that live in the countries that are fighting and may not realize what veterans have done to this world and our lives. If it wasnt for Veterans that we have then we would all possibly be dead because alot of us is scared to fight in wars and risk our lives.You fight. You go through pain. You protect us. You endure. You do all this to serve the country you love, and it's not an easy task. You veterans have sacrificed your life to fight the evil that poisons our country, and that is what I define as bravery. You stand up for what's right, but sometimes you lose your life in the process. Courage, respect and honor. That is what you show when you fight to keep our long lasting freedom. For this, I salute you.
I really hope that every one can see what all of you have done for us. I really feel like all of you, youhave made a big difference to every person in our community. I really love what you guys have been doing. I really thank every one who has served already or if your fighting for us now. I thank you all for serving. Veterans Day is celebrated to make up for the times that the U.S army fought for our country and died. Because there are a lot of cases were the people who fight in war are traumatize by what they saw. And there mentally or physical challenge because what they have did. I think every country should have a Veterans Day for there army did for them.

I love what you've done for our country. You guys are awesome and courageous what you did in World War 2.

Thank you for fighting for our freedom. We feel sorry for the people who got hurt and died. Thank you to those people for serving our nation. Thank you for serving our country. Happy Veteran's Day.

I think it's amazing how veterans risk their lives for their country, although war is childish. Thank you for all of you that fought, whether dead or alive. R.I.P. You guys rock!

I would like to thank all the veterans for the time they put in to serve and protecet our country. If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't even have freedom right now. I would also like to thank you for your hardwork and dedication you put into serving this country.
You didn't have to risk your life or go through that difficult training you went through but you did anyways. You don't know how much I appreciate you and how much I would like to thank each and every one of you in person. Once again I would like to say THANK YOU!!!

Happy Veterans Day!! I know its a little late but I would like to thank all the veterans out there. You sacrificed your lifes everyday to make this country the best it can be. Women and men are everyday fighting for us. Thinking about there loved ones and what they are fighting for. For that I am thankful and grateful to you all.
It is because of you that today we are a great country. That we live united and with liberty for all. That could not have been possible if you didn't fight for us. We probably have ended up like a comunist country. You risk your lifes for us and now we celebrate you.
Enjoy your day and that you can spend it with the one you love more!

im really glad that there are men and women out there that fight for our freedom. if it wasnt for them im sure that the united states would become war grounds, we would have people in the street dead just like they do over in iraq, and we wouldnt have the freedom to express our individuality and our opinions the way we do. if this was another country we wouldnt be able to do anything. i thank you for putting your lives at risk to keep our country safe.

Veterans have given so much for this country by going to war and fighting for our and other peoples freedom. Even if they stayed state side there entire career they do there part to help. When you think about all the people who died in all our past wars anywhere they gave up allot, some even there lifes, for nothing in return.
My grandfather is a veteran from WWII and he tells me the stories from all the interesting things he has seen and done. He did his part to help in that war and now todays soldiers are doing thirs and we should remember that.

Our veterans are extremely important to our country, they risk their lives everyday for us. They are our heroes, and we should support them. I'm proud to have veterans that are both men and woman that have fought, for us. I would like to thank them for their having the courage to go out to our in representing our country. THANK YOU !

Also to all of our troop out at war, come home safe to your families! <3

I think that we as Americans tend to take our rights and freedom for granted. We have everything handed to us on a silver platter, and never think twice about all we had to struggle or sacrifice, or all of the suffering others endured to bring us the greatest gift of all: the gift to think for ourselves. We need to take time to realize that this didn't happen over night, and this wasn't an accident. There are real men and women who love their country enough to give their lives to fight for her.
Veteran's Day is the one day of the year when we can take time to thank these valiant men and women who have gone through so much to ensure that we can continue to live our simple lives. It seems little to give in return for all that they have accomplished for us. And truthfully, we shouldn't just celebrate Veteran's Day on this November 11, but every day. They are the ones on the front lines, and the least we can do is show them we care. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for protecting us, our country, and our rights. Thank you.

My Grandpa served in WW2, and his toes were crossed. This led him to be eligible to drop out, because his toes didn't fit in the army boots. Instead, he said, amputate the toe. I want to serve my country.
I think this is amazing, and I am very proud and thankful of what my Grandfather did. I am thankful of what the veterans all over are doing for our country. All I want to say to them, is thanks and that they were helping us to keep our freedom. Thanks a lot!

I would like to thank all the Veterans that have done what they can to serve our country. It takes alot of brave and strong men to put our lives in their hands and die for us or possibly live. There are many of us that live in the countries that are fighting and may not realize what veterans have done to this world and our lives. If it wasnt for Veterans that we have then we would all possibly be dead because alot of us is scared to fight in wars and risk our lives. I know i am and thats why im thankful to have my four family members that past away last year that fought in different wars for for risking their lives for others they dont even know. THANK YOU VETERANS FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE!!Thank you for fighting for our freedom. Thank you to those people for serving our nation. Thank you for serving our country. Happy Veteran's Day.

Im glad we have veterans and soldiers in our country. They are brave enough to protect our country to keep us safe and free. Many people get their heads blown off to protect billions of people and they dont get the recognition that they deserve. Many people that come from Vietnam aee never the same. And they should be recognized .

First, I would like to start with a thank you. Thank you for making the people who aren't out in the battle field, feel safer here in our home we call The United States of America. Thank you for putting your lives in danger to make this a better country. Being a veteran, someone who has been in the military, or gone to war, or served some kind if position in the army, navy, marines etc, all risk their lives, but they are the most unselfish people. Thinking of others more them themselves. Even after it gets tough there is hope.

I would also like to say that those veteran's who have died from World War II. The cold war, the war that is going on in Iraq, and the so many wars have happen in this world, I would like to say that all you are in our thoughts. You have been very brave, and will be remembered from now until the end of times. Thank you for all the women and men. We appreciate you, and honor you in your respect.

I JUST LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THE VERTERANS. tHEY WERE SO BRAVE TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY tHANK YOU FOR FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY. THEY ARE OUR HEROES. THANK YOU AGAIN VERTERANS!!!!

the soldiers are really important to our country. they risk their lives to save lives

I'm happy that we have people who want to serve strangers. Even work with them in a strange country with other strange things going on around them ( I guess strange is my fav. word now! ). My brother is in the Airforce and he was in South Korea for a while. He was never in combat, but he told me he was always physicly and mentally prepared if he was attacked. Sadly though some people aren't as lucky as him. I always pray for the soldiers and the veterans who have family in war. Being on this subject reminds me of the Walmart commercial with the boy asking santa something for his dad in war. It goes to his dad in pakastan with snowflakes swirling around them. I find that sweet, so I made cards and sent beanie babies for them. I hope they know they are always special no matter where they are on earth. GOD BLESS THEM, EVERYONE! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I think it is very important for us to celebrate Veterans's Day

I just want to thank al the veterans for protecting our country.The American soldiers risk their lives every day for us and deserve to be respected.They don't get to see their families because they're too busy helping us out.THANKS TO ALL OUR VETERANS!

i would like to solute my history teacher

i would like to say thank you to my papa, my uncle, and my 2 cousins who were in the army. i miss and love them very much. one of my best friends josh is coming back from iran in xmas and i cant wait to see him. they all have done great things and i am forever great full.

I respect all military men and women. Whether there on the front lines or anywhere else.They give up their lives everyday to protect America.
