Mr. Tanimoto Unsung Hero Award

Decent Essays
I believe that Mr. Tanimoto should win the Unsung Hero Award for many reasons. The first reason is because of how compassionate and unselfish he was. He he showed sympathy to others, and put the needs of others before his own. Instead of getting food, water, shelter, or medical attention for himself, he got around to as many people as he could bringing them whatever he could get his hands on. He works tirelessly, hour after hour, to do what he can. My next reason is because of his extreme bravery. Throughout the entire bombing Mr. Tanimoto showed courages behavior and and risked his life to help others in need. He goes out the entire day going from person to person bringing food and water as fires rage throughout the city. He also “borrows”

    My first reason is because of his background. After being born into and abolished family he left to go join the Union and fight to free slaves. This could be hard if your parents are for slaves because you wouldn't want to disappoint the people that love you the most, so it took a lot of courage. I also believe it was difficult to lead the first black regiment in the north after all the discrimination going on at the time, and that is a good reason to get nominated into the Civil war Hall of Fame.
