Momorial Day


Memorial Day

  •  Memorial day is a federal holiday made to commemorate those who have died for the country. 
  • This day is celebrated once a  year on May 28th.
  • You can show honor and respect on this day by participating in any local parades or events. You can also simply show your respects.
  • I will have a moment of silence for the lost veterans.

I think memorial day is a good way of honoring those who have given their lives for this country. It is a nice way of keeping their respect and spirit alive. The day itself is very patriarchal. I never truly celebrate it since not much for celebration goes on. I am sure this day is highly valued for those with a deep regard for veterans and or soldiers in general. I have no particular feeling for this holiday. It seems very similar to veterans day. This is a great way of giving thanks.

''The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.'' - Dr. Laura Shlessinger This quote is true. Usually when doing something that is right you never really get a physical reward. The satisfaction is internal since you yourself commited the act. At times there might not be any witnesses. Physical recognition comes for other reasons. When you acknowledge those factors, right truly will feel like a phenomenon. The feeling you get when doing right is like no other. That is the only feeling apart from all others. That sense of well being will not be caused by any thing else. Reward over moral is a great prize.

It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.'' - Dr. Ben Carson I do not really agree with this statement. While it mat be true that poverty can eventually be overcome, many out there do work hard and give it their all at what they do yet they still do not escape. There are two ways to work hard at something. Sometimes you get what you want, other times things remain the same. This quote can not always be held true. There is a key element that breaks this from being true, education. You can work hard all you want but not go far because of lack of an education. Without education your efforts will mean nothing. Education can be in many forms. Education is the real key to success, without it efforts will not do much good. At times poverty is not a choice, lack of education will forever hold a family down. While some may be lucky to mov...
