October 16th 2004 Matthew McInelly Rita Kats TGE 100W-03 10-11-2009 (discretion advised this material contains graphic narration of combat situations, injuries and death) OCTOBER 16TH 2004 As I slide on my flak vest checking my ammo and weapon for the next mission briefing, I cant help but feel a little burned out. I’m tired, sluggish, and a little fed up with the whole army bullshit. I’ve been stuck in this damn desert for a year and a half, probably more. I was suppose to go home with my last unit when they mobilized to return to their home station, but the clerks doing the processing found my assignment orders.

Robert D. Flores Mrs. Trager English 3 CP 30 April 2012 Dear Diary, 1947. Today I completed the prerequisite towards becoming a Los Angeles Homicide Detective. After enduring months of incense training and working conditions, my body is trembling with excitement.

The Lost Battalion By: Jared Mobbs The 'Lost Battalion' was actually two battalions- the First and Second Infantries of the 77th Division. The two battalions had been fighting for the past week, against constant German fire. As the advance was continuing farther into the forest, and as the trees grew denser, the fire increased.

The Germans were entrenched within concrete bunkers and barb-wire-topped trenches, determined to make their last stand count against the invaders.

Ryan's delegation included relatives of Temple members, Don Harris, an NBC network news reporter, an NBC cameraman and reporters for various newspapers. The group arrived in Georgetown on November 15. They spent three days interviewing inhabitants about the conditions and mainstream of members of the sect.

By Monday afternoon, Landmarks had a group of qualified preservation professionals to serve on our newly formed Historic Architectural Assessment Team.

They also drove out to more rural areas within Napa County to review damage to historic buildings.

That night two thousand supporters and a large press television corps turned out at the Mason Temple to here an address by the 20th century most peaceful warrior. Dr. King was reluctant to appear that night but he finally decided that he would do it because the crowed was demanding to hear from King so he made his appearance out of sake for the people who so dearly loved him. The address that encapsulated and reaffirmed his life that night was destined to become his” I’ve been to the Mountaintop” speech, for those who knew him, king had given the impression that his life may be near its end. The next day, April 4, 1968, at 6:01 p.m. , as the SCLC leader stood on the second floor of the balcony of the Lorraine Motel where he was lodging, witnesses gave statements that they heard the sound that they believed was the back fire of a car.
Social Norms Observation Marquet L. Johnson 23 June 2013 American Military University Sociology 111 Instructor Collins Dictionary.com defines Social norms as the explicit or implicit rules specifying what behaviors are acceptable within a society or group. The most common social norm that I observe every day is traveling to work wearing the military uniform.. We all have to commute to and from our daily destinations. For community safety we should take the time to fully observe what is going on around us to ensure each other’s safety and well-being. As I travel to my place of employment I observe the line of congested traffic that leads to the main gate of the Barksdale Air Force Base. The sociology experiment I conducted involved me violating a social norm of wearing my military cap backwards to various locations around the base.
