Blog #24 Show your pride for those that served

Good morning cadets. We are in the process of celebrating Memorial Day this coming Monday so your task this week is to honor those individuals that have fought for and served our country, most have paid the ultimate sacrifice. You must post a video to our site that honors the memory of our valiant service members. You may also post a story or a poem that reflects their courage. If you create your own video and post it to YouTube and then to our site, you will get double credit for your work this week. Remember that the last thing that you have to do is to post a comment on at least one of your peer's works. Thank you so much for taking the time to display your caring for these individuals.  Here is a video that I feel is very fitting for this week.

    In my opinion, Memorial Day is to remember the soldiers that had served in our country, it is a day to thank them for serving our country, and a day to remember the ones who had sacrificed their own life to protect the people.

    In my opinion, I feel Memorial Day is a day to remember and Thank the
    people who are fighting and fought for our country. It's not a day for BBQs and parties. Even though many people do celebrate those type of things on memorial day, its still a day where we should respect our fellow soliders. In the order of that here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOcl17HIa7c

    In my opinion, Memorial day is a holiday when we give thanks to people who have fought for our country and people that still do. It is a day when we remember the soldiers who risked their lives for us and there are many ways to give thanks to them and to let them know how grateful we are. A video that honors our valiant service members is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ST4Nva-ShI

  6. Memorial Day is a moment to remember not only those who have fought and died but those who fought and can serve as a wonderful inspiration... like this WWII veteran who was part of a British pilot's division called "Attagirls" and is, you guessed it, one of the very few females who flew fighter planes for the British.
    Though she isn't an American veteran, her story can be an inspiration even to young American girls- here is a video of her flying a plane for the first time since the war ended seventy years ago. This just goes to show how much service can have such an impact on a person's life, and give one an amazing sense of purpose and pride.

    1. Not only British had a woman squadron, look up "Night Witches", a Russian bombing squadron that used the legendary PO-2 that took down a jet with a maneouver kill, there is also a song about them:

    A Memorial Day Poem
    by Debbie Bongiovanni
    (California)
    Today we honor all of you,
    Who served your country with pride,
    You risked your life for all of us,
    As you fought side by side.

    Your strength and courage always showed,
    No matter what the danger might be,
    And you did all of this,
    So that we could all be free.

    Thank you all for what you've done,
    And now we will all pray,
    For each and everyone of you,
    On this Memorial Day.

  9. Memorial day I believe is a day in which we honor the soldiers or veterans that died for our freedom. Such wars like the the civil war, WW1, WW2, Vietnam and Korean war. Its a day where we realize how people died for what we are now, safe and free.

    1. Good job with your post cadet. Just like it was suppose to be. Remember that you also need to comment on another one of your peer's postings about their video and you will be finished and receive full credit.

    Memorial day is a day that most people forget the true meaning of. Memorial day is not a day that you just barbeque and go to a pool, memorial is a day where you're supposed to remember all the people who fought for us to be here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK0T4pVHP28
