Anniversary

gather the words to fully express the depth of what I feel for you? When I try, I am lost for words. I don't think I express my appreciation to you often enough for having given me so many happy years, so I've decided to write this letter, an anniversary card just doesn't say enough. It was five years ago tonight that you first asked me to be your girlfriend. As I reflect on our time together, my mind is flooded with happy and unforgettable memories. The very first day that I met you, I knew…

American is not only being a citizen in United States, but also, it means being united, patriotic, and welcoming. People in America are diverse, share the same dreams, and share the same voice. In the speech “Address on the Occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty” by Franklin Roosevelt, he stated, “The realization that we are all bound together by hope of a common future rather than by reverence for a common past has helped us to build upon this continent a unity…

The Gallipoli campaign began with a failed naval attack by British and French ships, on the naval attacks upon the Dardanelles Straits in, February-March 1915. The British and French attempted to collision the Divan Empire of Turkey since World War One had begun. Australia’s involvement in WWI was because, Britain was the “Mother country” and Australia was part of the commonwealth and the British Empire, therefore Australia felt compelled to help. In the training period, Australian Soldiers had…

In August 1961, the documentary television program, Four Corners, made its debut. One of the first episodes, Box Ridge, is an investigative journalism piece that takes reporting to the unknown and underrepresented area of the Box Ridge Aboriginal Reserve, in hopes to make Box Ridge widely acknowledged and be a new representation for the Aboriginal community. Reported by Michael Charlton, a non-indigenous man, the film is reflective of the deplorable conditions the Aboriginal community endured…

Keeping the torch lit A memory is usually something that impacts the life of someone so much it leaves a part behind that can 't be forgotten. Memories can bring back positive times, but also all the frightful, things that changed life without warning. The Holocaust is an event in history that has affected so many people, ending up affecting history itself. Not only does this catastrophe bring back horrible memories for people, but also a haunting thought about the future and this happening…

For more than 120 years, American children have recited the Pledge of Allegiance as part of their school day. Today, these 31 words serve as a unifying oath for all Americans. Controversy continues over whether the author was the chairman of the committee, Francis Bellamy--who worked in the promotions department of a magazine for young people that published the pledge called the Youth’s Companion --or James Upham, who worked for the publishing firm that produced the magazine. The pledge was…

The musician I did for my paper was Sharon Kam. Sharon Kam is a 45 year old classical clarinetist. Her major career started when she was 16 and she joined the Israeli Philharmonics and director Zubin Mehta on stage while she performed the Mozart Clarinet Concerto. Not long after, she performed the Clarinet Quintet with the Guarneri String Quartet in Carnegie Hall, New York. She loves playing and listening to Mozart. Sharon Kam is one of the most influential clarinet players because she has…

school or work, well they are wrong. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S Military Veterans. It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also the anniversary of the end of World War I (major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went to effect.) Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day.…

Climbing into the cockpit of Shelby American's 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe is very much like like going back in time. only it's a bit more comfortable. Only, this time it’s a bit more comfortable. The steering wheel has a fat leather rim metal spokes and a metal badge at its center. The dashboard looks like a '60s-era science project with plainly labeled knobs and switches set into a flat black surface. The only clues that this is a modern vehicle and not a 1965 race car are the switches for…

the United States free from bondage and ownage. Baldwin’s letter is written on the 100 year anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The significance of the timing of his letter is that the anniversary is supposed to be an indication that African Americans have been free for a very long time, but the opposite is true. Blacks are still discriminated against, treated unequally, and the 100 year anniversary of the freedom of African Americans is actually an ironic milestone for the United…
