It is important to honor
Veterans Day because it
helps us remember the
sacrifices of the men and
women who have served
in our military. We are
also able to h onor their
family, because they
have made tremendous
sacrifices, as well.

Being a veteran in
this great nation is a
fantastic feeling. There
are soldiers defending
our way of life and our
country’s values, just as I
did in the past.

I am proud of my Grandpa and Papa, who both
served this great country.
Veterans are people who keep our country safe.
Veterans Day is a time to say thank you for
protecting us. Always say thank you to veterans and
their families because they do not see each other for
long periods of time.
Jennifer Benavides
Principal, Hudson Middle School
Veterans like my father provide Americans with access
to liberties that some countries envy. It is our duty
to respect their service and celebrate their lives and
commitment to our country.
