sarcophagus. The body of an unknown soldier was entombed on November 11, 1921, as a tribute paid by the Americans to those soldiers who perished during World War I. A military honor guard was established at the tomb. The honor guard is made up of select members of the Third U.S. Army Infantry Regiment, known as the Old Guard. Guarded day and night, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier became a national memorial that will forever symbolize the peace, victory, and valor of those American soldiers died fighting
The group that I have always felt like I fit in the most throughout all of my life, would have to be my high school Color Guard. Color Guard was always the thing I turned to when I was upset, or simply just had a lot on my mind. To tell you about my Color Guard, I will first have to tell you a bit about the town I grew up in. I grew up in the small town of Antlers, Oklahoma where we had two stoplights, a small school, a dollar general, and a small array of family-owned businesses and restaurants
member of the color guard team for the last year, I’ve wanted to continue to help the team by making sure that we are working our hardest and loving the sport. I believe that loving the sport comes first. If you don’t love color guard the rewards won’t come. Hard work and dedication is what makes a team go from good to great. As a team, we need to strive to be great. This year we have come so far and I want to help us to continue to work hard and fly high. My passion for color guard and dance are only
It was amazing to see and feel the love that can come out of something so horrible. We will forever be grateful to be part of such an amazing family.

Thank you to the officers who honored Mitch by being in the funeral procession. Thank you to the dispatcher who gave Mitch his final 10-42. Thank you for being at
I got married to my husband who had been in the U.S. Army for nine weeks at the time. Very shortly after getting married, we found out he would be stationed at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia. It is known as The Old Guard or The Honor Guard because it is the base that is responsible for all burials at Arlington National Cemetery. It is the oldest active duty regiment as well as the official escort to the President. Arlington, Virginia is a much different place than Miami.
We often consider the distinguishing factors between a good and great guard to the details of our performance quality as a group; however, to achieve greatness as a whole we should first consider the contributions of all guard members as individuals. Last season, our team received a negative reputation for its mistakes and appearance as a group, yet no one wanted to take responsibility as an individual for not putting forth their best effort. I would be a successful captain because I am encouraging
period much of everyday living was distinguished by honor roles. Throughout this paper I will write roles honor played in this society, and the effect it had on the expectations of men and women in medieval society. I will end with ways in bringing dishonor. The Cid was an ideal Lord. He was generous to his followers, showed them respect, and took acceptance of their council. He was loyal almost to a fault. He brought honor to himself by giving honor to his Lord, King Alfonso. Alfonso who was the opposite
about life and how to succeed and do my best. In those moments when we are sitting down and chatting about the future and its possibilities honestly I don’t even realize that these life lessons are built on the same foundation as the Coast Guard Core Values, Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty. I also didn’t realize that not only in those moments but in everyday life i apply those very concepts. I don't have a job, or anything like that, but I go to school and right now school is the most important
is talking to her sister (Ismene) about how their two brothers (Eteocles and Polyneices) killed each other fighting over the thrown. Antigone is enraged over the fact that Creon (Antigone’s uncle and the new king) has buried Eteocles with military honors but has left Polyneices to rot. Creon has declared that any person who buries Polyneices will be killed, but Antigone doesn’t care. Antigone is driven to bury her brother and she wants her sister’s help. “Ismene, I am going to bury him. Will you come
If you should learn your father is alive and coming home, you could hold out a year. Or if you learn that he is dead and gone, then you can come back to your own dear country and raise a mound for him, and burn his gear, with all the funeral honors due the man, and give your mother to another husband. When you have done all this, or seen it done, it will be time to ponder concerning these contenders in your house— how you should kill them, outright or by guile. You need not bear this
Beowulf Attacks the Dragon. Beowulf makes his final boast. He says that, even though he is old, he shall “still seek battle, perform a deed of fame” by killing the dragon. (Norton59) He doesn't know how to grapple with the dragon, like he did with Grendel, so he will use a sword and shield. He tells his men that the outcome will be “with us at the wall as fate allots, the ruler of every man.” (59) He tells them to let him fight the monster alone, “By my courage I will get gold, or war will
friends.Ó By the end of high school he was more excepted in places where he once was ostracized. He even tries to help people with the same problem he has. ÒMaybe he was scared like I was....In elementary school it was not easy....In high school I made honors and even won a letter on the cross country team.Ó He put his fears aside to do what had to be done.

The guards found this unusual, as most of the time, the prisoners are either yelling or attacking each other. Even the prison chefs couldn't bare to notice the unusual behavior of the prisoners. Some of the prisoners were snapping their fingers to the whistling tunes. The prison guards talk among themselves about the unusual situation.

Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway is a gifted guard whose shooting, passing and athletic abilities earned him a spot on the All-NBA First Team and who helped the Magic reach the NBA Finals in 1995, only his second season in the league. The 6-7 Hardaway combines height, ballhandling and an accurate outside stroke into an exciting all-around game, although his scoring tailed off in his final two seasons with Orlando and he was traded to Phoenix prior to the 1999-2000 season. A native of Memphis, Tennessee
English III Honors P. 1 Mrs. Robinson 4 May 2004 “Prohibition: The Noble Experiment” “Prohibition, sometimes referred to as the noble experiment, did not achieve its goals.

code of honor that exists in the Columbian town. Marquez' paints a picture that shows how societal values, such as honor, have become more important than the inherent good of human life. The Vicario brothers' belief that their sister was done wrong was brought upon by this honor, along with racial and social tension. The dangerous path of both honor and religious faith caused Santiago's untimely death. "'Before God and before men,' Pablo Vicario said. 'It was a matter of honor'" (Marquez
in this code would be considered a disgrace, and would bring a dishonor that was worse than death itself. However, by applying the Code of Chivalry, the knights in the medieval time displayed certain character traits which would secure success and honor in both battle and morality. In the book Ivanhoe, by Sir Walter Scott, a knight named Ivanhoe illustrates this by devoting his attention to keeping the rules of the Code of Chivalry, which consisted of love of adventure, integrity, and loyalty to the
It is not uncommon for the Civil Law to conflict with Honor. This means that the laws of people, jobs, countries, and duties usually establish a problem with the glory, or respect of people and their self-will, because there are different views of something on each side. This statement is true because many aspects of life involve standing up for what you believe in, while going against the laws of what you have to follow, even though the civil people don’t have any patience for any excuses. In the

On this day, both brothers died. One, Eteocles, was given funeral honors, but the other, Polynices, was not. This decision was made by Creon, Antigone’s uncle and the current King of Thebes. Creon said “He is to have no grave, no burial, no mourning from anyone; it is forbidden.'; (Pg. 432; l. 165) He also
