When was the last time you thought about soldiers far away, fighting for America? Veterans are easily forgotten about in our everyday lives, because you don’t hear very many stories of events going on in Iraq now. Just because stories aren’t there to remind you, or there to make you think about it every day, doesn’t mean you showing your patriotism is now suddenly becoming unimportant.
Heroes accomplish so much with little or no reward in return even when they deserve it the most. Veterans are like our own real world super heroes and they deserve a lot more thanks and reward than the get. They do so much for our country and many of them don’t get rewarded at all or if they do it’s something small. Many of them don’t want anything huge, because they feel like it’s their job and it’s just what they have to do for their country, but saying thank you to them can go a long ways.
Soldiers don't want much in return, they just want thanks and very little things like that can show your patriotism, and next time you see a veteran you should thank him for fighting for our country. You just have to walk up, shake his hand and say thank you for your service. It means an incredible amount to them and it's not a hard thing to do. They were away from their families for month’s maybe years and all you have to do is take out a little piece of your day to say thank you to them.
Showing your patriotism and letting soldiers know that you care really does matter. Everything they had to go through made a huge impact in their lives and they deserve a thanks, and to be shown some respect. Although, it is easy to forget about something that we aren’t constantly reminded, you should still think about the people sacrificing their lives for our country and feel grateful to have them. Simple things like saying thank you to a soldier or reciting The Pledge of Allegiance mean so much and can really make a person feel better and confident about the work that they have done and achievements that they have reached.
