To myself, service to country is one the greatest feeling you could ever imagine. I know this feeling from my 4 years of service in the Marine Corps. When I got out in 2012, I went to school, got a job and joined the rest of the world. You notice a different between a civilian and someone in the military. You have a since of pride and selflessness about you that you will not find anywhere else.

    Veterans Day Research Paper

    Every year we celebrate Veterans Day on November 11th. Veterans Day is a day where we honor the men and women, dead or alive who served in the military. There are four different branches of the military; Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines, and each branch plays a unique role in our country. When I discovered the benefits of the military, like free college after 36 months, or amazing Medicare, I thought, “I should join the military!” When I hear the word military, the first thing that comes to my mind is “justice”.…

    Personal Statement: Joining The Military

    Joining the Military has been the mark at this point, helping me express my true character. On my aimless path to finding my true calling in life after high school, there were many swings and misses. My dad is an electrical contractor so there's where i first put my mind into but realized this really might not be my exact calling I mean it never really drew my interest as much as i felt it should. Then I tried carpentry and being and office assistant, but those made me feel more hopeless than I ever had on my path to finding something that actually inspired me to wake up every morning, fall asleep knowing I'm right where I belonged. Until I joined the military, which probably wasn’t my easiest decision.…

    How Did You Enlist In The Army To Serve In Vietnam?

    Q 1: Mr. Caputo, why did you enlist in the army to serve in Vietnam? A: I enlisted because I was convinced/influenced since I was young that joining the military was 'patriotic' and that I should serve my country for the greater good. I was also heavily influenced by President Kennedy's inauguration speech: 'Do not ask what your country can do for you, rather ask your country what you can do for it.'

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Experiences Of American Veterans

    I am an American. I say it with the utmost pride and respect. Some citizens don’t stand when they hear, “The National Anthem” play, they don’t remove their hats, and sometimes they even talk over our song. They don’t feel great pride when they see The United States of America’s flag waving high in the air. Some Americans tend to think of being free, having personal rights, being allowed to speak up and many other rights as normal, but in other countries living in America and having the opportunities we have everyday is only a dream to them.…
