300 word essay about "serve and deserve"
Answers
What I see in our time is that many veterans of our military do not receive the respect that they deserve. This disrespect can come in multiple ways. The ways that I have noticed most are that they get denied jobs that they are highly qualified for and disabled veterans do not receive the proper medical treatment that they need, whether it is for mental or physical disabilities. I strongly believe that this is a complete injustice. How can people not respect the men and women who write a check for up-to and including their life to serve and protect each and every person who live in this country? “There can be no doubt about it: we need a new worldview. And we need it now” (Chittister 5).
What I think needs to be done to help this situation and create a new worldview is to make more people aware that this injustice is happening. I also believe that if people are willing to share their story, that would be the best way to get the message across. I was well aware that this was happening, but until a customer came into my work and shared his story with me, I didn’t feel all of the emotion behind it.
Hope it is helpful....
