They told stories.

This provided entertainment, allowed news and information to travel, taught history and tended to show who ever was paying them in a good light.

They were honoured because they were fun and useful to have around, and they were given a good place in society because whoever was paying wanted to be seen in a good light!

There were no newspapers, or media/communication of any kind, and poets were the entertainment. Their poems usually related stories/legends from the past, and also stories of the day that they picked up on their journey around the country...so that is why they were held in high esteem

Why should American veterans be honored?

Why Americans Veteran should be honored? I think Americans Veterans should be honored because Americans have fought and died for their country from the very beginning. Americans have always answered their country's call to duty and fought no matter what the cause or reason for the war. We are proud of those men and women who have played an important part in defending our freedoms throughout our history. The events of these wars and the people that fought and died for this country are valued by all Americans as links to our common heritage and our growth as a nation. American Veterans are honored because of their bravery and sacrifice to fight for our country's freedom. These brave men risk their lives, waste their time, and sacrifice their families and friends just for our freedom. They have made the decision to defend our country in peace and war. Vets fight to keep us safe, and free. They are noble men and women. All have something special in them because if they didn't had bravery even courage. How would they fight in the war? Without bravery and courage about right now we won't have freedom neither rights in the United States.
