The mummy portrait of a woman and the bust of a woman, were both very…

a lot of historical memorials like: The Korean War Veterans Memorial, and The Vietnam Veteran Memorial.

Wide shaped in white, the exterior of the Lincoln Memorial looks like a 3D…

One of the most underrated, undervalued, and underappreciated groups in society today are veterans, and the matters of their contributions, capabilities, and reciprocity. At the last count, there were more or less fifty thousand homeless veterans in the United States today. A minor subsection of veterans, as a whole, is females. In general, the women of the military have a tendency to slide under the radar for much of their careers, and especially when it comes to things going awry, or…

If I was stranded on a deserted island and a lifeboat came and I had to choose between a healthy three-year-old, an elderly Nobel Prize winner, a single father of two young children, a thirty-year-old decorated combat veteran, and a middle-aged doctor who has performed life-saving surgery to save, I would choose to save the single father with two kids. It would be a hard decision to make but having two kids I would want them to have a father. I would choose to save the father of two because…

welcoming they serve as great company when feeling alone. Peacock, Hansen, and Winefield (2012) suggests that companion animal ownership contributes to overall improved well-being. That is why weak elderly people, dependent disabled people, anxious war veterans, and riotous children, can all experience positive reactions from having an animal as a companion.

many of those that need help are lost in the countless numbers of others that have served. For example, “50% of those with PTSD do not seek treatment and out of the half that seek treatment, only half of them get "minimally adequate" treatment” (Veterans and PTSD).

Our heroes, the ones we once praised, come back and…
