Memorial Day Speech

Decent Essays
MSgt Roark,

This past Memorial Day I attended the Atlanta Braves Vs. my San Francisco Giants as a spectator. Usually in the Recruiter world we attend these events and go all out. For some odd reason every branch was out there with the exception of AD AF. However, I watched as the other branches did their thing and I honestly felt for a split second that I was not actively in service and I felt absolutely shitty! Your time of wearing the many uniforms throughout your career, countless deployments, sacrifices that you made, encompassing the AF core values, and embracing the AF roller coaster is finally coming to an end. I hope that you don’t have the same feeling that I had this past Memorial Day, but a sense of accomplishment of your career.

In other words the importance on keeping the U.S. united and far from conflicts that did not concerned the U.S. Apparently, George Washington was fully aware of European history. He had seen how most of the wars in Europe and their colonies started out as a dispute between two powers, but they quickly dragged in their allies into the fight, who had nothing to do with how it started. This was called the Grand Game in European diplomacy, that sought to build interlocking alliances in such a way that would balance out the opposite powers, but often failed, resulting in large casualties and repeated wars.…

    My Declaration of Independence I am here today to announce my frustration with the amount of homework given on any day. The problem with all of the homework is that some people have other things to do, and may not have time to complete all of the given homework. I think it’s safe to say that the amount of homework is just a bit too much, and not completing all of it seriously can bring down some grades for people. People do not deserve to have homework in every class, almost every day.…
