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

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.
