her to have a relationship with men and to be able to trust people again. It appeared that her service and the service of other women were not important to the general public. Many American simply did not believe that female nurses would be sent by ‘our’ military into combat (Van Devanter 225). This was very devastating for her. Lynda found herself replying, when asked what Vietnam was liked, that it “sucked” and then saying no more (Van Devanter…

Christmas for those who may rusty on their ancient history. Mary and Joseph, two young lovebirds, travelled to Bethlehem, which is in modern-day Palestine.

Originating from my great grandfathers arrival to the United States from Italy, my fathers side of the family began in the small town of Dunlevy Pennsylvania. My father was born in 1963 in Germany while my grandfather was on deployment in the United States Air Force. Traveling the world my father found a place where he has not left. The city of Colorado Springs is where my mother and father first met. My mother was born in 1968 and is a Colorado native. They were married in 1987 and began…

Some are actors while others are political activists furthering the human rights of their people, consequently becoming excellent role models for Aboriginal youth. Actor Adam Beach has been in major American movies such as “Windtalker”, “Flags of our Fathers” and has been on the American television show “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit”.

My saddest day to date was the day my mother told me that my great grandmother was put in the hospital. The day was Tuesday, the 19th of January, 2016. It was after school and I was headed towards a club meeting when I received the text message from my mother. She simply told me that she was coming to pick me up from school and that Gross Oma was in the hospital. The whole drive there everyone was silent. All that could be heard was the soft singing of the Christian singers on the radio. When…

My Grandpa, Gary Hardin My grandpa, Gary Hardin, is one of the military veterans in my life who I am close to and likes to tell stories of the past. He was drafted for the army young and missed the birth of his first child. The hardest thing about being in the military, according to him, was being away from his family. My grandfather is still a big family man with a loving heart. He was born on January 28th, 1950 in Greenville, SC. Born to Ethel Jane Wilson and Jack Warren Hardin, he was…

unknown and distant body seemed a whole lot closer to the Earth. After they landed, Armstrong and Aldrin started to collect soil and rock samples, tested their ability to walk on the moon’s surface, and took photographs. Finally, they left an American flag, an Apollo 11 mission patch, a disk with messages from more than 70 world leaders, and a plaque that read, Here Men From The Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon The Moon, July 16, 1969 A.D. We Came In Peace For All Mankind. In 1972, the last…

My person of interest for this assignment is my best friend and significant other, Jimmy. The both of us have been together for around a year now and I thought choosing him, as my subject would be useful towards our relationship. Of course it is obvious that we are different by gender, but socioeconomic status, ethnicity and even religion are all of the same. You see Jimmy is probably the most influential and positive man I have ever come across. But when it comes to me, I try to be more…
