I see our veterans as American heroes, not as cartoon characters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every veteran is a hero.
Veterans are a symbol of what makes our nation great, and we must never forget all they have done to ensure our freedom.
For as long as this nation has known war, we have embraced the heroes it has produced.
For as long as this nation has known war, we have embraced the heroes it has produced. Americans have rightfully noted the honor and nobility of courage under hostile fire and thanked those who perished in their defense.
But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present.
Everybody respects the Vietnam Veterans of America.
There is no room for military people, including our veterans, to see themselves as victims, even if so many of our countrymen are prone to relish that role.
America's veterans and troops serving abroad today fought hard to preserve our red, white and blue, from the Revolutionary War to today's Global War Against Terrorism, and Congress' action today is appropriate for one of our most sacred symbols.
People call us heroes, but we are nothing compared to our police force and fire fighters and everybody who protects us and makes sure our freedom is held to the highest standard.
For one thing, I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero.
