Importance Of Contributions To A Soldier's Memorials

A man sits on a bench with the bustle of everyday life in New York going on all around him. Not many people notice him as he sits there with a look on his face that clearly says he is somewhere else. He is relatively young, but stress and past horrors have made themselves plainly visible on his face. Under his eyes are deep shadows, and he sits rigidly, like he is ready to jump up at any given moment. Despite his depressing demeanor, he radiates a feeling of authority. This man has made a long, treacherous journey of horrors, miracles, loss, victory, agony, joy, hatred, love. He has been willing to die for you and me, for his family and friends, and, most importantly, for his nation. This man is no ordinary man. This man is, and will

As a nation, we need to be thankful for our veterans. The men and women who join the military undergo nine weeks, or more, of boot camp. That right there is said to be the most laborious nine weeks of anyone’s life. Drill sergeants break them down both emotionally and physically, so they can improve upon them and make them stronger. Those are the people we should be thanking, the ones who fight to preserve our country’s freedom, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. Those are the fundamentals of our Constitution that those people fight to protect. However, after their service, it doesn’t seem like people know that.

Arlington National Cemetery is located in Arlington, Virginia and is home to over 400,000 graves. Service members who died while on active duty, retired members of the Armed Forces, and certain veterans and family members may be buried there. Seeing the countless rows of headstones allowed me to reflect upon the sacrifices made by our U.S. soldiers. I have a tremendous amount of respect for every person buried there. Monuments, memorials and dedicated trees commemorating individuals and significant events in our nation's history are interspersed throughout the cemetery among the headstones of service members for whom Arlington is the final resting place. These people shall never be forgotten. Walking beside the graves allowed me

I agree with his opinion, and that calling all military veterans heroes is a misuse of the word. I believe the military in general does deserve respect, they perform a very dangerous job on behalf of the country. It is however, just that; a job. Military veterans, joined willingly, and make a living for themselves. Do not mistake me, I think we should be doing so much more for veterans, providing health care, specifically within mental health, providing jobs and more. However, calling all veterans heroes is a mistake, and it does devalue the word. Hero, is a term, that once might have been exclusively for the people we see in the medal of honor recipients below, those that faced great trials, and disregarding their own safety, acted solely

In honor of Veteran’s Day, I created a piece that symbolizes many things. Half of my project is the American flag, which in itself represents many different aspects of American history. The fifty stars represent the fifty states, the thirteen stripes are for the original thirteen colonies, and the colors show innocence, hardiness, and justice. Everything together, shows our pride for our country and our values. On the other half, I included a more personal aspect to the project. My cousin recently joined the Marines so, I included the Marine Corps. symbol. The charred line between the flag and the symbol shows that the Marines are a separate unit, but we are all together as one.

The two main characters, Charley and Henry, both go off to the Civil War. There are many differences between these two books. There are several things that are the same in these two books. There were many contrasts and comparison in these two books.

Since the opening of the Emancipation Memorial in 1876, there has always been controversy regarding the accuracy of the message that the monument provides to its viewers. The Emancipation Memorial has become an example of the criticisms that many warped monuments face today, such as heroification. In order to have an effective monument, Loewen believes that the monument needs to be honest in the story that it shows, which includes not omitting any important figures, no racism, and no glorification and heroification of figures or ideas in the monument. Many have agreed that the image depicted in the Memorial is deceiving and creates a misleading historical memory for tourists. Historical memory is the way in which an event is remembered, influenced by monuments, books, movies, and other forms of propaganda. This is significant because the historical memory of the Emancipation Memorial has had a large impact on the group of Americans who have seen the Memorial as a validation for their thoughts that Lincoln was the sole figure who freed blacks from the awful chains of slavery. The degree to which the Emancipation Memorial needs to be toppled is extremely urgent. The monument should be toppled because of the degree of historical inaccuracy that the monument depicts onto the viewer’s historical memory.

Creating a memorial or monument for your loved one is a lasting tribute that will stand the test of time.

“An Army’s bravest men are its cowards. The death which they would not meet at the hands of the enemy they will meet at the hands of their officers, with never a flinching.” (Ambrose Bierce 1) The author, Ambrose Bierce, was a first Lieutenant in the Union Army from 1861-1865 and wrote a short story called “The Mockingbird”, to reflect upon his life on the battlefield. He served his country on numerous battlefields, including Shiloh, the one he mentions in great detail within his story. It was clear early on that Bierce was driven to succeed. In his life, he dealt with many tragedies but he also proved he would never be deterred. To him, sustaining success was just as important as achieving success—perhaps more so—and it didn’t happen overnight. He continued to advance in life despite obstacles, and just like the character in the book, they both endured the same challenges. “The Mockingbird” reflects upon a main character named Private William Graylock, who aspires to be a brave war hero; however, he battles his own unethical character flaws by fabricating his own stories and his battles with his own psychological issues.

The memorials name was established after Zack “Sunshine” and Katie Eide, whose lives were lost in a tragic accident in 2009. The memorial honors them, and other children whose lives were lost within Pinal County. Each item in the memorial symbolizes the youths lives. The birds represent their carefree nature, the flowers represent their growth here in the city and the suns represent the light that they brought to their friends and

(Harrington, ME) The Worcester Wreath Company and Wreaths Across America announces, on December 12, 2015, 901.000 christmas wreaths were placed on graves across American to remember those who lived and served. The wreaths help to keep their memory alive and provide individuals with a moment to pause and remember them and their service.

The Christmas Wreaths add beauty to the cemeteries they grace and provide a reminder to all that Americans have a great deal to be thankful for during the holiday season.

If anyone has ever looked into the eyes of a wounded service member one will tell you. You will see more than just wounds on flesh. I know I did. Being a young Navy corpsman I treated and cared for many wounded sailors and marines coming back from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune. The wounds I saw were mostly from IED blasts that would pepper the individual with shrapnel with the occasional broken bones. These types of wounds range from minor castings and splints to major surgeries. Caring and treating the physical wounds was not a problem. I was good at it. It was the wounds that you could not see that made caring for these young individuals much more humbling. I have a distinct memory, where I am treating a
