Veteran's Day

  

We are here today to honor the Veterans that serve or have served in the Military. It takes special people to take a huge risk to protect their country, their families, and the people on the streets. It is because of their courage that makes them special. 

Veterans are very special. Because of the things they do for everyone in the United States of America. They risk their lives for us so that we may sleep at night. We need to show them respect and I understand that all of us here do; but, in some countries veterans go unnoticed and are not thanked for what they did for their countries. Not all countries neglect their veterans but to name one is Germany after WWII.

Wyatt has a Grandfather who is a veteran and he was a Sergeant in the main branch of the Military, The Army. Allen Burckhardt commanded a tank and was posted mainly at the border of North Korea to make sure that they didn’t start anything. Allen saw that people did take potshots and it wasn’t uncommon for him to see that an Army member to get sniped. Thankfully he doesn’t have PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Connor’s great grandpa was in the Air Force  during the Korean War. He flew during the War and took the hurt people to the infirmary so they can get better and the attention needed to get better. He told us some of the stories that were appropriate so Connor’s parents didn’t get mad. 

                We love our family veterans and they love us more than we could ever know that they do. When Wyatt gets older he wants to be in the Military. Whether it is the Air Force, The Navy, Army, Marines, it doesn’t matter because he knows that he’s making his Grandpa proud. He knows he might not make it but he knows that if he does he will be extremely happy for himself. If or when he gets into the Military then he will be special too. So, the next time he sees his Grandpa he’s going to thank him for being special.

                Veterans are special. There is no other way to put it. You could say they’re brave yes but it takes a special person to use their bravery to enter the military. Veterans are special, there is absolutely no other way to put it.
