Some of our souls and the loss of relatives. I lost a brother and two cousins in Vietnam and still live with the memories of horror to this day. Every veteran has had to sacrifice something of themselves.
What are some sacrifices veterans make?
Veterans make plenty of sacrifices in order to serve their country. Some of their biggest sacrifices include:
- Family
Most veterans who go into service have to sacrifice the time they have with their families. Sometimes this means that they can not come home for important occasions such as christmas, birthdays and graduation. Having to forsake this can have drastic and difficult effects on family life.
- Time
Because they can be deployed at any point, and there is sometimes no telling how long they will have to serve for, often they are sacrificing a huge body of their time - day and night - to serve their countries.
- Their own health and safety
To fight for your country means that every day you are risking life and limb to do so. This means that they are always ready to sacrifice their own lives for the lives of others.
I hope this helps
