Well, have you thought about where your freedom came from? One word sums it up, Veterans. We need to thank our Veterans for they have undergone so many hardships for our happiness and freedom today.  \nTheir hardship included losing friends on the battlefield, being away from their family for long periods of time, injuring their bodies, and losing limbs such as legs and arms. I myself could not imagine such hard and sad things. For it makes me sad and miserable just thinking what those gruesome days, nights, and homesick moments must have felt like Could you be that brave or courageous when people are dying right beside you?  \ncouldn't imagine something more brave than risking my life for my country, and people don't know. Veterans deserve recognition, respect and care. Could you imagine coming home from war and fighting a new norm? Did you know that most veterans need jobs, and help to adjust to the way we live off the battlefield? A General after he retired from the army stated the transition is \"pretty tough\", and only one in four veterans have a job figured out once they finish serving. The reality of the transition off the battlefield makes me upset. They have done so much for us and deserve to be able to transition easier. Veterans should be able to find a job that fits them but, instead of having an easy time transitioning to life. Most Veterans have a very hard time, and some have post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety to name a few. After talking about what they have done for us, and what they have risked for us, have something to say. ! will do my very best to let all veterans know that l respect them honor them, and E every little and big thing they have done for our country and the people in it. I hope that they all find jobs, get help transitioning back to the life that they left to help fight for our country.  \nBy Aubree Salo  \nAs I go about doing all of the things that \\ love to do, l cannot and will not take for granted the sacrifices made by our veterans that make it all possible. Without their valor, the opportunities we have today would not be possible. Some of our veterans paid the ultimate price and now it is our turn to return the favor by taking care of their brothers and sisters who also put their lives on the line.  \nAlthough the war may be over, at home the fight continues. Many veterans deal with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) because of the horrific experiences they were exposed to. PTSD can make living ordinary day-to-day life extremely overwhelming. It is important that we do not leave these veterans to face their challenges alone. Just as they did not leave us to face this nation's enemies alone.  \nWhat can we do to support our veterans now that they're home? In what ways can we  \nreach out to be positive that they are not carrying their burdens without a friend? I pledge to take the initiative and ask a veteran how l can be of service to them now that  \ntheir service has ended. Whether it's helping with daily tasks or lending a sympathetic ear, I pledge to make it known to our veteran community that l am more than willing to help.  \nSometimes just letting someone know that you appreciate them can go a long way toward brightening their day. If anyone is worthy of our appreciation surely it is the men and women who fought to preserve our way of life. Through acts of kindness and service, we can demonstrate that our gratitude is more than empty words uttered on a few select occasions and holidays. Every veteran has their own story, and we should celebrate not only what they have done for our country, but the incredible person that would make such a sacrifice  \nLet's make sure that our veterans' lifetime sacrifices do not go unrepaid. They stepped up when we needed them, now it's our turn to step up now that they need us. After all, we are one nation under God and our unity is what","cbCaifvf7tvdiOWa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifvf7tvdiOWa","pdf",65524,"English","# “My Pledge to Veterans”\n## Honoring veterans’ sacrifices\n## Supporting veterans after they return\n## Commitments to respectful actions","[{\"question\":\"Why do the writers say veterans deserve recognition and respect?\",\"answer\":\"They describe veterans’ hardships, including losing friends, enduring injuries and separation from families, and risking their lives for others’ freedom.
