It is important to keep honoring Veterans Day because it's a way of acknowledging the sacrifices veterans have made  while serving the country. Without veterans we would not have the freedom we have today. Basically they give their life up for our rights.

List several ways to show honor and respect on Veterans Day.

• Attend a Veterans  event on your area

I think honoring and making a holiday is a great way to show respect for those who died serving the country. Many people retire after they make it through the military but they usually have lost a limb. Talking to veterans after they have served the US is a great thing to do. Sometimes talking about their memories is all that is needed to make a veteran happy. Without them many innocent lives could of been killed although by risking their life isn’t a good idea their bravery is something you can’t compare anything to. There are times when veterans have a family of their own and they usually have to make sure they come out alive for their children. I think veterans are what come as close to becoming a superhero.

                                                                                           - The 9/11 Attack

      

         Every now and then we go back into history and think about all the brave people there once was. When we think about brave we think about the firefighter's who risk their lives to help people. But on September 11, 2001 not only did firefighters show there braveness but so did the people of New York. The 9/11 attack was a tragic moment in history where more than 2,996 people were killed and approximately 6,000 more were critically injured. The twins towers, known as the centerpieces of the World trade Center was the target of the Islamic attack against the U.S.  Imagine being in one of these floors and having no escape except jumping out the window or staying inside waiting for death. Many people were brave and had the courage of risking 2-3 bones in order to save their lives. Of course many did not make it but in my opinion trying was the best thing they could of done in their last moments of life. 

         After this tragic attack New York was able to re-build themselves and prosper eight years after. Every single one of the victims of the 9/11 attack were carved on the memorial museum.
