I wanted to take a few minutes before my family departs Fairchild to thank you for all you have done and are doing for the families of our Airmen.

I have seen unlimited acts of kindness and support to families across our base. I have heard of tough situations which have been handled with "kid gloves", resulting in positive outcomes for everyone. I am aware that you may be privileged to information that would make great water cooler topics, however you keep it to yourselves and pass it on only when necessary and to the proper chain of command. I'm also aware that it's not always easy as you reach out to families who may not think they need anything, yet you provide a sounding board for them or are actually able to help with something that

    The excerpt from “The Sentiments of an American Woman” suggests that women in the war couldn’t join the army because “opinion and manners… forbid” them (“The Sentiments of an American Woman”). At the time, women were considered to be fragile and delicate, and their only place was at home. Traditional women who wanted to help the war effort made clothes for soldiers and raised funds for guns and ammunition. Some women had such “love for the public good” that they overcame these stereotypes to help the war effort directly (“The Sentiments”). Women on both sides of the war helped to deliver messages and carried water and food to battling soldiers.…

    “On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.” -Dan Lipinski `With so much business in life these days, it is common to forget that our own everyday life is much different than that of those out fighting for our country. We often forget that not everyone in this country gets to see their families everyday and that often, our service men and women go weeks, even months, without seeing their loved ones, and more often than not, they miss birthdays, anniversaries, and even holidays, due to their commitment to keep this country free.…

    To My Fellow Brother, Cape Bradford Hello brother I am writing you this letter to tell you that us Patriots are still rooting for you to be a part of our group. I’m going to tell you why they are not the people you want to chose. Well first of all they cause a lot of tension between us, such as The Proclamation of 1763 and how those dumb rules were cast upon us, that wasn’t a very fun time and don’t even get me started with The Boston Massacre and The Boston Tea Party those were horrible acts played on us, that was the moment where we couldn’t tolerate them any longer. When the Proclamation of 1763 was issued that really made us angry because of all the unnecessary enforcements put onto us, it made us feel that our needs weren’t very important…

    It has always been difficult growing up in a First Responder Family. The affects are mostly positive, but it is difficult for positive affects to live by itself, without coinciding with negative ones. Growing up in a town of roughly 100,000 people. you would think only a few would know my name, but everyone seems to know who I am, because of my last name and who gave me the last name, my father. I could talk to a complete stranger and tell them my last name, the name that follows me everywhere, and seven out of ten times I seem to get some sort of reaction from the person.…

    Military Families

    What are your thoughts regarding your ability to work with military families and children as a social worker? I personally would be “fine” maybe even a bit too comfortable working with military families and children as a social worker because I grew up with an alcoholic father and I am starting to see the similarities, which honestly took twenty-five years all because everyone is afraid to face the truth; therefore, things just get swept under the rug and open communication is forbidden in order to protect the toxicity of the household. One quote from Park (2011) that struck me states, ‘‘a common saying in the military is that when one person joins, the whole family serves’’ (p. 66). This unfortunately reigns true with addiction. Alcoholism is a family disease that tears away at the family unit.…

    Although my mother and I have had countless conversations about her previous life experiences, I was surprised at how much I did not know prior to this interview. I had never thought to ask her about what networks and resources she used to adjust to her new lifestyle in the United States. Our conversation made me realize the importance of friends, family and professionals to shape her as an immigrant parent. Growing up, she was not only a mother but a mentor to me—she supported me endlessly and helped me overcome my challenges as an adolescent. Her story begins with her life in South Korea.…
