Veterans keep the story alive of the wars they fought in and teach the younger generations. I cannot imagine a world without veterans, the freedom lost, the patriotism missing from our hearts. Veterans have stood up for our country and helped us get some of the things we have now. They protected our nation, and without them our country may not have had a future. They kept us safe, sacrificing their lives to save ours.
Stand at attention in rain and snow forbidden to talk or move, some prisoners have been known to drop dead right there from sickness, fatigue or malnourishment. The days in camp are filled with exhausting work, little food and water and a chance of being beaten or killed for just about any reason. When waking up at 4 a.m. in the morning, the first thing the prisoners would have to face is seeing all the people that didn’t make it through the night and then pray that someone didn’t steal their shoes. If someone took their shoes and they couldn’t find any that would fit they would be severely beaten or killed because they would not be able to work. Once they find their shoes, they would

Mahatma Ghandi lived his entire life resisting the British oppression of India peacefully, but in the end he was killed. Mahatma Ghandi never meant to throw away his life or cause violence. That sort of martyr is a rare thing, and most people intentionally choosing to die are hypocritically wasting their
Gettysburg address by Lincoln and funeral oration by Pericles is the two of the famous speeches in the history. In my point of view both speeches have the same meaning because both speeches were conveyed to honor those troops who had died or got injured in battles. Also Lincoln dedicated monument for the resting place for troops and people who died during wars. I really enjoyed reading both of these speeches. As result, I concluded giving honor and respect to troops and their families was the main purpose of both speeches.
Because of his back injuries he mostly did traffic control. He loved to help others and was very often the first one on the scene. He dedicated many hours to our community and losing him to cancer on November 25, 1997, was not only the saddest day of my life, but the saddest to the Bethel Community as well. The fire department honored Papaw during his funeral with the entire department in attendance and with the fire trucks leading the funeral procession through town. That was the day that I realized what pride in someone else really felt like.
In the town of Maycomb, you cannot run from judgment. For example, Boo is just a man who has not come out of his house in forty-six years, and Scout sees him as some kind of monster. Everything Scout hears about Boo, she believes. “When people’s azaleas froze ina cold snap, it was because he breathed on them. Any stealthy crimes committed in Maycomb were his work.” (Lee 10).
However, his belief in the goodness of everyone eventually got the best of him in the end, when his coward sons killed their own father and ran away. Duncan brought honour, love, and understanding to the throne of Scotland. He was a man full of ambition, an ambition that helped thousands of people to live better lives. When he passed, Duncan took our mother Scotland’s well-being and right for a better tomorrow, but I promise you that I will stand up and help OUR nation prosper and flourish as it did under his rein. He was the light in Scotland’s dark
Source 15 (people’s judgements of Haig) tells us of historian Sir Llewellyn Woodward’s opinion of Haig’s strategies, “Our high command had not advanced beyond the tactics of the Stone Age. They could not think of any other form of warfare, except to throw into battle large numbers of men, month after month.” This quote could be biased as it is not written by a witness nor is it a fact, however, you can cross-reference this with the view from Field Marshall Montgomery who was a chief for Britain’s army “Haig was unimaginative and dull.” Some share the view that Haig is the Butcher of the Somme because of his over optimistic attack and his unwillingness to change his out-of-date, useless tactics which were clearly causing the deaths and suffering of a large group of men. An argument against Haig being the emotionless and unsympathetic ‘Butcher of the Somme’ is that he was acting as a professional and obedient soldier, who, like his men, was taking orders from a higher authority and was attempting to listen to military advice. A great deal of pressure was on Haig by both the French and British government, for the attack to be
No one will know exactly what Japans leaders were thinking at the time, but we can speculate. The attack on Pearl Harbor was absolutely devastating. It was an absolute disaster that should have never occurred anywhere or anytime. The amount of lives lost days is what saddens me the most. There wasn’t a single good thing that came from the attacks.
