    The history of receiving a folded American flag though a small token of gratitude from the United States of America and Congress, helps a grieving family that is going through so much with the loss of a loved one. Traditionally, at every military funeral, the closest loved one of the fallen hero receives a folded American flag that was draped over the casket of the service member on behalf of the United States of America. In 2015, we have seen many deaths in first responders and though there are usually funerals and memorials held for many first responders, Washington found a way to show their gratitude to their service. With the rise of violence here in America, many first responders have been sent to many dangerous situations where…

However one's devotion to what they love may come with the dismissal of cynical actions.

Time, space, communication, and identity are portrayed throughout the book. These four factors are important in inter-ethnic relationships between patients and health care providers.

    America is the land of the free, because of the brave. Americans enjoy many freedoms because of the democracy our ancestors fought very hard to establish. Freedom summarizes what being an American is about, but it’s not what an American is. An American is someone who is brave enough to do something even though the punishment is severe, someone who sees opportunity and stops at nothing to achieve it, and someone who doesn’t take the easy way out. Bravery is part of the definition of an American.…

    “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him,” said G.K. Chesterton. A love for their country is why my veterans serve. It never really sunk into me how much veterans sacrifice for us. I think that we need to show as much respect to people that have served in the military forces to make us be able to be free. Or be able to pursue whatever we would like to.…

    We keep Lincoln’s promise for the veterans by, paying for their GI Bill, if they are fighting in Iraq, Vietnam or something, and something really bad happens to them, like them breaking/losing their arms or legs, or if they go into a coma or something, the government pays for that, because they care about our veterans too. Whenever the veterans get home, we can throw parties for them whenever they walk through the door, to make them feel like they are welcomed back, and that they are loved. We would probably invite the people that they cared/loved about the most. When my uncle got back from serving in the military, we threw a party for him and the people that were there were Me, My Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Kaden(My Brother), Drake(My Brother), Cousin(Brady- His Son), Cousin(Djerrah), Cousin(Xevo), Cousin(Gavin- His Son), Cousin(Hannah- His Daughter), Cousin(Cousin), Enzzo(Cousin)…

However, he is able to wordlessly convey to Eddie that certain boundaries must be respected. In Italian culture, insults directed towards one’s family are analogous to personal insults. His interaction with Marco is an example Eddie’s inability to remember his own criteria, respecting personal boundaries and those of one’s…
