Discharge No one is charged with the killing of the six men in Hyde Park over the Fourth of July. However, there are consequences imposed that change the course of Johann’s life. It has taken two months for the completion of the investigations by the St. Louis Police Department and the U.S. Army. Immediately following the issuing of the army’s final report, he is ordered to report to Benton Barracks. He is certainly surprised to hear that he is being immediately discharged from the army. Despite having one year remaining on his three-year commitment, he is informed that he, along with every soldier in his battery and most of the men in his regiment, is being given an honorable discharge. Without fanfare, he receives his discharge …show more content…
Six months after being discharged from the army, Johann and Rike are blessed with the birth of their first child on February 24, 1864. He is given the name of Johann Carl Heinrich Voss. One month later he and Rike carry little Heinrich to St. Paul’s Evangelical Church to be baptized. Unfortunately, they have just enough time to get to know and love their 19-month old baby boy when he passes away on October 2, 1865. The funeral services are held at St. Paul's. With the conclusion of the services, their son’s body is placed in a horse-drawn hearse. A five-mile funeral procession transports Heinrich to St. Paul’s Churchyard on Gravois for burial. (L16A-B) (L150) (L235) Less than three months after losing Heinrich, they are blessed with the birth of another child. They name their baby Elise Lisette. Later in life, she will go by the English version of her name which is Elizabeth. She is born just two days after Christmas in 1865. One-month later Elizabeth is baptized at St. Paul’s. (Elizabeth is Orval Koehler’s grandmother and our direct ancestor) (L9) (L15) Another daughter, Maria, is born on March 18, 1867. Apparently, a serious health problem forces Johann and Rike to call for Maria’s immediate baptism on the day after her birth. Maria passes away shortly thereafter. One of the greatest traumas imaginable is when parents must deal with the death of a child. They have now had to face the deaths of two of their

The Burgermeister’s Daughter, written by Steven Ozment, illustrates the scandalous life of a young woman in sixteenth century Germany. Anna Buschler, the burgermeister’s daughter, lived a troublesome life in the German city of Schwabisch Hall, where she spent the majority of her life, while still moving from town to town. While the book surrounds the life of Anna Buschler, it also gives insight to many other historical topics going on in the time of her life, which feed into the reasoning of how Anna was treated. While the book at the beginning shows the mishaps and discourages Anna’s wrongdoings, we later find out many topics of discussion which led her
Edith's life of accomplishment began at a very young age. "Only two years after her birth, in Breslau in 1891, as the youngest child in a large Jewish family, Edith's father died suddenly at the age of 48..." (Payne).
It is obvious from the opening chapter that this novel will center on the war and the effects it has on a young group of soldiers, none of them more than twenty years of age. They are all friends and former classmates of Paul Baumer, the narrator and protagonist of the book; they have enlisted in the German infantry because their teacher, Kantorek, had painted for them a glorious picture of fighting and saving the homeland from destruction during World War I. In this first chapter, Baumer and his friends are away from the front lines, relaxing a bit after two weeks of fierce fighting. As each of the young men is introduced, it is apparent that they are tired, hungry, angry, and disillusioned over the war.

Coming home to nothing; no help, no support, no job, and no one to talk to about their personal experiences while being deployed. This type lifestyle is something veterans face on a day to day basis. Transitioning back into society can be difficult, but we as Americans should help them make this extensive change. The introduction of the book For Love of Country, written by Howard Schultz and Rajiv Chandrasekaran inspired me to look more into how the American society helps those who sacrifice their lives so our lives can be free. The introduction also helped with the theme of veterans and one topic question. What are the common repercussions of veterans leaving the army and what can American society do to help them?

Many people are concerned about the U.S. military because of how many risks come with joining it. However, the U.S. military also explains the benefits that one could receive. Joining the military is a decision that should not be taken lightly. One must understand all aspects of the military. In order for a voter to be fully informed about joining the US military, one must consider both the risks, like mental illnesses and commitment and benefits, like education, and experience.

However, the author elaborately narrates the anguish of women about their appropriate roles in the post-war period via religious and societal approaches. Although the religion embraces the mother’s abandonment of family, the author proposes a decent woman by borrowing the perspectives of the two boys and also by proposing the adverse character, Granny, who is submissive and cares her family.
Amy, I agree that there is a natural tendency to rush through a patient’s discharge instructions because there is always a rush to discharge this patient so the next one can be admitted. It is important to use your communication skills to build a relationship with your patient in order to structure and tailor your teaching moments in an environment that aligns with the personal characteristics and behaviors of your patient (Bastable, 2014, p. 79). I seize the opportunity during a patient’s stay and care to have these teaching moments, so that the final discharge education is basically a review. Discharge teaching in this manner prevents the patient from be bombarded with a sleuth of information that may be hard to understand in one sitting.
