the medal of honor just a medal, or the most important thing

The Medal of Honor was established during the civil war to honor those who had done incredible acts that surpass the need of heroism. the Medal of Honor was made by the navy first then the rest of the special armed forces followed. To do the same the medal only has one meaning, and that's, to be a person who did the one thing others did not do in that time, when it happened.
For some the Medal of Honor means life over death circumstances because you might die doing what you are doing to save others from what is happening. When their time to be a hero the person acting before thinking if the one doing as he is to do when peoples lives is in danger and rescue them before they could die. Sacrifices can be made when doing the right thing like you might get injured and lose and or or leg, but the worst of all is to die for what you have done. To save others can meant you’re life but it all depends on you, will you take the chance or let them die its you're choice.
To earn the medal of honor is more than just pure strength and courage it takes heart to do what others might not do for you and any one else in that situation. Having no concern of you're own death can be a simple thing that get s you that medal but in other chances it might not of been a grate act of duty to actually earn it. When you see some one in a car wreck will you help them when some thing bad is happening to the people you know will you help them? If you know, you should or else it’s going to be on you’re conscience that it was you're fault that they had died.
Can you really be too modest to earn the medal of honor or even to wear it, you might think I don't deserve it but guess what its you're, and you should were it, with pride. being humble with you're self and other about getting it doesn't mean you can wear it only means you're to good to have one because no-one else will do what you did. if you believed in you're self to do what you had done in that moment means you can wear it how ever you like because you have to believe that no one else will do it the way you did.
I wish every veteran could have a grate life till their day comes. I thank them for what they had done and will do in the future. and I say goodbye to you all hope to know more about that of what happened before my time .

thanks for everything

Dear Sergeant John D. Hawk,

Good day to you. I am Cadet Private First Class Alexis Perez. I am writing this letter to thank you and your brave actions in the Second World War. I am glad to be addressing a hero who received the Congressional Medal of Honor.

When you killed the Germans, got injured, and was still able to command your troops and fight against them despite the odds. It was an outstanding thing you did. You played a role in the lives of many people who look back at that moment in France and will remember you for you’re bravery.

In times of war and desperate need of help, you managed to overcome the odds and live through those hard times. What you did helped me realize that you were a cause that I am here today to thank you.

As the sacrifices you made for our country has given others hope to understand that they too can be like you, a hero to many and not need to be recognized for it. Hopefully all of you’re struggles and sacrifices have made you’re life a good and ever lasting one.

I hope you write back, and I wish only the best for you. Once again I thank you for what you for you’re duty, honor and love for you’re country.

From the end of the world-

as time go's by we still remember you for waht you have done for us

HAWK, JOHN D.

Rank and organization: Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company E, 359th Infantry, 90th Infantry Division. Place and date: Near Chambois, France, 20 August 1944. Entered service at: Bremerton, Wash. Birth: 30 May 1924, San Francisco, Calif. G.O. No.: 55, 13 July 1945.

Citation:
He manned a light machinegun on 20 August 1944, near Chambois, France, a key point in the encirclement which created the Falaise Pocket. During an enemy counterattack, his position was menaced by a strong force of tanks and infantry. His fire forced the infantry to withdraw, but an artillery shell knocked out his gun and wounded him in the right thigh. Securing a bazooka, he and another man stalked the tanks and forced them to retire to a wooded section. In the lull which followed, Sgt. Hawk reorganized 2 machinegun squads and, in the face of intense enemy fire, directed the assembly of 1 workable weapon from 2 damaged guns. When another enemy assault developed, he was forced to pull back from the pressure of spearheading armor. Two of our tank destroyers were brought up. Their shots were ineffective because of the terrain until Sgt. Hawk, despite his wound, boldly climbed to an exposed position on a knoll where, unmoved by fusillades from the enemy, he became a human aiming stake for the destroyers. Realizing that his shouted fire directions could not be heard above the noise of battle, he ran back to the destroyers through a concentration of bullets and shrapnel to correct the range. He returned to his exposed position, repeating this performance until 2 of the tanks were knocked out and a third driven off. Still at great risk, he continued to direct the destroyers' fire into the Germans' wooded position until the enemy came out and surrendered. Sgt. Hawk's fearless initiative and heroic conduct, even while suffering from a painful wound, was in large measure responsible for crushing 2 desperate attempts of the enemy to escape from the Falaise Picket and for taking more than 500 prisoners.

lucky me i lost five more

the first goal i compleated last month was to make new friends. i went to my friends friend house by the train station. we were teaching each others made up skate tricks like the boomerang where you flick the board around, catch it with youre hand then land on by letting it go. i fisrt made up the trick in front of my house but then i did it over there and now my friends friend named hecter is me friend too.that goal is also #3.

The second goali accomplished was to buy myself a skateboard its a krown board and its good for regular tricks like flip tricks.i got my board online from eBay well known website for online shopping.i got my dad to place the order and i payed him after i got it.i made the order from my house pc thats in my kitchen because we have no other place to put it in.thats basically all of goal #11

also i compleated goal #10 which was to learn to manual on a sk8board which is basically lifting one foot and keep youre balance while riding to make it a manual. i was on my street and my friends where there with me as i went from one side of the street to the other width wise.i dont remember the day i did it but it was in the begining of the month though.and thats it for goal #10.

the laas goal i completed was to get a a grade "B" in my ROTC class. in school i accually got an "A" but its better to get that there was only my friends. from school there with me no one really helped me get it but my self. i did it all in 1sg kujawa's room on the fourth floor of farragut career academy.

thouse are all my goals that i compleated this month of october

a time for change

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
these word were spoken by the man who believed that every dream CAN be archived.



this was a very important quote by rev. Martin Luther King JR. because this is what told others that its the inside that counts and that appearance is nothing to a feeling. That people judging blacks as bad people shouldn't because they could be friends with them and let them have the rights they deserved since the start of all the problems they started to have in the country.

these words cough my attention because i at an early age learned that people are just people no mater their color. That they might be different,they might be colored, but their still regular people like us.
Black people run play and live just like us but they will always be our equals.

A Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--

And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags

like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?



A Dream Deferred
by Alexis perez

Waht happens to a dream deferred?

Dose it burn like a cut?
Or swell like a bump on you're head--
And then think
Dose it shrieke like a halting car?
Or fly to heven-- like an angel
mabey it just stings
like a blistering sun.

Or dose it obliterate everything known?

my perants american view

My dads hardships was that he had to cross the border many times because he kept getting caught and he kept trying,he even went to jail and then he got sent to the US for a while then sent right back.
The only reason my dad came to the US was that he wanted a 1979 truck and got a in the united states' way of life and started working as a construction worker. And a Carpenter for any one who paid him he also had to run away from immigration. All the time and would leave the area were he worked just not to get caught.

My moms hardships were that she got married and had to go with him to the US and live her life like my dad, she really didn't have an American dream.after a while she got a dream and that was to make best of her life here and and life here all she wants then later on she wanted a RAV4 vehicle. For her to drive all around the city showing off to her friends and be the best one here. she still wants a RAV4 today, but shes making me pay for it now, but not until i can pay for it.

my best work

Also people get beaten up by racist like the KKK whom had killed many black people back in the day. Standing up for some one could save his or her life, never giving in to the bullies rants about their religion or race. It also can show others what type of person you are, because people think more about whom they are with.Judging people on appearance is not what our parents taught us, in the 21^st century no one cares any one anymore its all about you’re self. People are self conscious because they don’t want others to make fun of them.

I believe to actually do the something about it. Because although the person that’s gettingmistreated dose not say a word you know he’s getting offended and that it’s going to be him/her friends responding to the guy whom started it. These people add religion to stereo typing and racism of people, like Mexicans are wetbacks which doesn’t have anything to do with what they say to you. And no matter what race are you, people will always ridicule you for who you are they always come up with ways to do something bad to you.

Therefore, these reasons are that racism shouldn’t be a play thing that people use to “burn” others in word fights because it could bring forth violence. The less violence there is in the world the better place it will be for people of all races. Never judge people be their color of their skin or race.

should you speak up if some one is acting racist?//

in this video is showing that in Asia babies cant eat jello unless thay have a western invention called a "spoon" and that their chop sticks are useless ageinst jello



in this video is telling that blacks must serve whites no matter what and that thay must be loyal



in this video it tells you that why would you treat some one else different because of their skin color if you wouldn't do it to a peace of colored candy why do it to a girl or a colored person.

slave narrative

hello my name is Marcus Philips,i was born south of Louisiana in the year 1818 now a days i think i
am at least 87 years of age. my slave name was journeys, because i was raised there, in that plantation till i was 'bout 18 then i gots sold to petes plantation up north in Kentucky. when i was working at journeys plantation my master taught me to fend for my self and stand up for whats right. one night night watchmen found me cutting wood one night and and he was drunk you see so he started to chase me till i was tired and he gots his whip and started to beat me till i gots big red lumps on my back. wen i got my ax he ran away but all i could of done was just keep cutting my wood till i got my self inside and my momma asks me what be happening out side so i told her and she tells me to tell master but i didnt cuz he only gunna belive him and not me.

two weeks later that same guy raped my momma and kilted her. master granted me a funeral and mourning for her।after that i felt like i had to get away. from there or else i taught i might me next to die. there since i was the only one of my family left there cuz my pappa gots sold 'bout 2 years back when i was 16. i was an only child you see and so i got to spent time with the masters children for some time and he granted me my freedom. at the age of 30 when i was a grown and free man i learned to read and wright like them white people and teachers in them of.
every day in the plantation i had to pick copper from the fields, cut wood, and bake for the masters children.it was hard work but it got me out of trouble with the master and i get better treatment in than the rest but i heard one that its survivable of the fittest. so i did what had to be done to stay good altho i couldn't learn good i still tried my best to read the masters books when he lets me.the master,was so cruel to the Cotton pickers when they don't hurry and especially when they don't get the job done before winter.
At the age of 35 i had made a living for house cleaning and cooking after a time of doing that i went to child care and be a sitter. i took care all types of children blacks whites and even mix of them both till i got enough money to go up north i went to Illinois and opened a new shop with a partner of mine some white fellow named Cesar Thomson.we had good time together unfortunately he died two weeks before the shop actually opened for business for the firs time and made its first sales. altho he was dead i cept the buisness running smooth i gave up on my buisness and soon retired at the age 60 and decided to stay and live the rest of my life writting my memuars,something i did to pas the time as i awaited for god to say"your time is done, time to be really free".

family values

1. why do i value family the most?

i value family the most because family always has to come in first of everything except you re self. and its a very important aspect of life to have you re parents with you till you move out and then till they rest in Peace. you re family is the one thing you have to help when they are in trouble and in need.you should always know that you can always rely on you re family to help you when you need them.you re family should always be there fore you like you are for them nomatter what the cost to you.


2.why do i value friends the least?

i value friends the least because you might not know if there going to be permanent friends. friends that are always going to be cool with you no matter the situation. some friends might just laugh at you when you mess up and do something wrong. but some just take it out of proportions and never stop making fun of you even if you ignore them like you re parents tell you its still going to bother you. till the point you snap and beat them up but you might never get friends like,on the other hand i have so i have to put up with that all the time so so value them the least of every thing else because yes, ether way your going to make good friends in you re life time, but friends you cal actually trust, is something that really tend to not happen as much as you thing it should.
