Reflection

I feel like this holiday is very important because it shows respect and honor to those who are not here with us anymore. It shows that theyre appreciated. Those men and women fought for us, it was their choice. They were brave enough to do it and that is one of the reasons why i respect them. When i was younger i always wanted to join the army, marines, air force and etc. I look up to those people, the people who served/serve for our country.
