Yours of April 8th came safe to hand last night and I hasten to reply concerning what you said in your letter about your affairs, let me say a few words to you on the subject in the first place I am older than you and have seen a little more of this World perhaps and ought to be able to give you some advise on the subject you speak of and you must not be angry towards me for telling you what I think for your Benefit and I think if you will hear to me you will see the time when you will be glad of it. I have no doubt of your Courage to carry you through but there is something to look after more than that in the first place, if you go now you go in the worst time that you can possibly for the climate here is different here than at home we are in one cence climated to it where on the other hand you are not again we have accustomed ourselves to long and fatiguing marches where a new recruit could not hold out he would give out before the rest were the least tired.
As far back as I can remember, you have been my personal hero and I owe so much to you, not the least of which is a Marine Corps heritage for our family to include a fantastic career in the Corps for myself. Had it not been for the photos of you and Uncle Bernard in your dress blues, setting on the dresser at Grandma and Grandpa’s house, I may never have joined the Marine Corps. Looking at those photos every time I went there always made me proud of you and Uncle Bernard and were a continuous source of intrigue for me. Those photos along
decided to join the army for a bit of an adventure for a few months,
When you have to read this letter I hope you realize that I died fighting for our families rights. I wanted very badly to be free from Britain's power. As you go on in life, make sure you remember to advocate for yourself and do what is right for your people. Do not let my death be in vain. Work hard in life for what you want.
"RUN!!" I heard a fellow soldier screaming as I looked around. "RUN!" I started to take off but I was too late. I am an American soldier and I just got my leg blown off by a grenade. As I lay here crying, yelling out in pain, I think about why I am even here. The president thought that Saddam Hussein MIGHT have had weapons of mass destruction (WMD), so he sent me here to die. After we searched and found that Hussein did not have any WMDs, what did President Bush decide to do? Send more troops (SIRS).
It is our mission as a volunteer program run by the United States government to serve our country with great honor. It is our mission to help people outside the United States to understand American culture. And it is our mission to help Americans to understand the cultures of other countries. With the use of cross-cultural communication, we can work together to communicate across other cultures as we step inside into the lives of others.
The purpose of this memorandum is to outline my view point on leadership. As a Drill Sergeant, it is my responsibility to transform civilians into well discipline, physically fit, and competent scouts. I am entrusted to uphold the Army standards, live the Army Values and Warrior Ethos, and instill Esprit de corps.
under those circumstances, the notification letter was sent by regular telegram. On the other hand, Japanese Commander Fuchida lead of air strike airplanes, pick up the Honolulu radio station and use it as a guide to Pearl Harbor, in the same way, U.S. Airplanes B-17s coming from California pick the radio signal too. Hence, the new U.S. Radar located in Opana Point intercept a large group of planes coming through about 140 miles north, three degrees east and notify Lieutenant Tyler in the information center. Lieutenant Tyler assumes the intercept was the upcoming B-17s in flying to Hawaii (Tora! Tora! Tora!, 1970).
"The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country” (-General George S. Patton Jr). Here within our borders we are the lucky ones, we have been blessed with the pleasure of so many brave men and women; to volunteer in the world's greatest military; and put their lives on the line for something that they believe is a moral obligation. But, think of some other countries, that have conscription (the practice of ordering people by law to serve in the armed forces) laws. We as a nation have some laws on conscription, and if you are male and above the age of 18 you have already signed the slip of paper stating that in the time of war; if our great nation re-instated the draft then there is a great chance you will be serving on the frontline of the next Great War. This brings me to my first topic of this page, is it ethical to have a draft? My second topic that I will discuss will be on if it is morally acceptable to "draft dodge". What I mean on the second topic is if you have a right; that morally allows you to not go fight in the war.

The initial reaction I received from reading Soldier's Home, and my feelings about Soldier's Home now are not the same. Initially, I thought Harold Krebs is this soldier who fought for two years, returns home, and is disconnected from society because he is in a childlike state of mind, while everyone else has grown up. I felt that Krebs lost his immature years, late teens to early 20's, because he went from college to the military. I still see him as disconnected from society, because there isn't anyone or anything that can connect him to the simple life that his once before close friends and family are living. He has been through a traumatic experience for the past two years, and he does not have anyone genuinely interested in him enough to take the time to find out what's going on in his mind and heart. Krebs is in a battle after the battle.
I just received my ANZAC biscuits their quite nice thanks to you for adding extra sugar this time. The battle of Passchendale has been going for 3 months now and its coming round to time for me to leave. I am quite desperate for it to finish before I leave because I don’t want to leave my mates behind and them be called into help because its very brutal and its not going very good on either side. Good news the battle finished just before I was set to leave. I have two days till I am leaving for London. I’ll let you know when I get to London.
In document thirteen, we encounter a letter written by a young English soldier fighting the Germans from the woods. He starts his letter by explaining how once again he was forced to be out in the trenches for forty-eight consecutive hours. The letter, addressed to his parents, illustrates how devastating it can be for a young man out at war. When he asked for time alone they told him to take a group of men with him and after a bit of difficulty they finally let him go off on his own. While he is out on a stroll he comes across a German trench and kills an officer, he does the same thing the next day. By the end of the letter he simply defines the experience as awful.
While serving in the Army I saw many leaders come and go but none as influential to me and my career as you. I want to thank you but cannot truly thank you enough. I appreciate you stepping up for me when it seemed as though many did not. When you hired me it gave me a sense of pride I did not feel in a very long time. Your support, encouragement and advice have been extremely helpful. Your strong leadership skills, along with the support and dedication you show to your team has earned you much deserved respect and admiration. I wish to express my gratitude for all of the professional development I received while
When faced with obstacles in life, people rely on their family and friends to give them support and encouragement. Sometimes, family members can seem harsh and unkind, but their intentions are sincerely good. Mothers will always disapprove of their son’s choice in girlfriends, but she will shed tears of joy at the wedding. Fathers will never like their sons-in-law, but they still tell their daughters that they will find the perfect man. Thirty-year old men will always be treated as if they were ten by their mothers. It has been this way for centuries in our society. A letter from a worried mother to her son, a soldier in the Confederate Army, proved this point. While this young man was, by that time’s standard, an adult, his mother still felt the need to keep her child safe.
All soldiers are taught to maintain their personal hygiene; they are often clean, uniformed and organized? Placing everything where it should be in order to retrieve them when needed. Not only is the soldier taught to maintain good hygiene, he is taught to keep his weapon and all equipment clean and operable. The solider hygiene and operable weapon is the key to survival in the field, and often he would maintain this attitude even when leaving the military, and the habit is carried on to our wives and children, or we may perceives people in our family to take on the same attributes. But we must remember we are only soldiers, soldiers forever realizing that our spouses and children will never be the same
