The Star-Spangled Banner

In my paper, I tried avoiding just explaining what the Korean Armistice Agreement was because I felt like that was too easy as well required very little thought. I focused on the problems of the Korean Armistice Agreement because I have family that lives in South Korea as well I find the Korean Armistice Agreement to be very problematic for multiple reasons. I divided the essay by having each paragraph focus on a specific problem or two problems that connected with each other. The problems that…

This article about trump makes me wonder if this saying “...its players for disrespectful of our country…” is based off of race or if truly thinks this disrespecting to country. When I hear people talking about Trump I usually think about he is racist. The reason why is because of previous things he said in the past and what I heard from the news. A question that would encourage future investigation of this topic of process is how/why does trump think it's disrespectful to kneel during the…

The minute Kaepernick started his protest towards police brutality and racial injustice I vouched with him. For being a brave man who stood in front of millions to protest what he believed was right. The reason he started his protest might have not been for the greater good but rather for himself. That doesn’t matter as long as his protest is having an effect on people. Many would still not be aware of what was going on with police brutality if a famous football player would have not took a…

America is very important and we need to appreciate it. There are many things that made America what it is today. Some things happened that we don’t even know about. If you don’t treat America with respect, then your being disrespectful to everyone that fights for this country. We need to start treating this country better and acting like the Americans we should be. One thing that we should do every day is take the time to say the pledge of allegiance, and also to take a moment to think of…

America, a nation where if people are willing to work hard can make a good life for themselves. We are not a perfect country, but what we have is worth fighting for. When men women no longer serve our country that is when our nation will fall. Memorial day is a day to recognize life lost and saved lives. America is protected by the blood of soldiers that give up their lives so that we may be free. General John Mattis of the United States Marine Corps once said “ you signed blank checks payable…

Is standing for the National-Anthem right or wrong? Well last Sunday over 102 different football players , from different teams in the NFL knelt or sat down for National-Anthem. Many are doing this because they feel like colors are getting treated badly in the United States. President Trump gave a speech about it and said, “ The players should be fired for kneeling.” No matter if it's right or wrong there doing it for a reason, and the reason is to get equality for American Africans.…

Patrick Courtney is finally on the field. It had been many months since his last injury, so he can’t wait. He lines up behind the quarterback and waits for his call. Courtney gets the ball and runs through the lane the offensive line creates. He thought he was home free, but a linebacker absolutely crushed him from his blind side. He tries to get up, but his right leg would not support his weight as he collapses back to the ground. Courtney is devastated that he has another injury. Later, he…

With current events going on in America concerning the U.S. Flag in the public eye. Like athletes kneeling during the National Anthem, or citizens burning the U.S. Flag. This has brought forth the question “what does the U.S. Flag mean to you?” and “If you disagree or agree that it is disrespectful about what people are doing to the flag?” I agree that it is disrespectful to burn the U.S. flag because lots of people have bleed, fought, and died defending the U.S. Flag. Some might say that…

On August 26th, the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Green Bay Packers for a preseason exhibition game. Normally, there is little attention given to these games because they are played with the sole purpose of evaluating the progress of players before the regular season begins. This game, however, ended up receiving worldwide attention for something that happened before the game had even started. Colin Kaepernick, the current backup-QB for the 49ers, made headlines by choosing not to stand during…

What the American Flag Means to me Everytime I see an american flag I can’t help but think about how great our country is. After all, flags are all about representation. A synonym for flag is banner, and all the ones that are not for decoration are emblems. The flag that I see the most is the american flag, and when I look at the colors of the United States flag every morning when we say the pledge of allegiance at school, I think about about the republic that it stands for as well as the…
