I have witnessed traumatizing events, dying men, being shot, and I went behind enemy lines 11 separate times, all for my beloved country, yet I’m branded AWOL and equated to a coward! I served the Union Army valiantly and gave it my all for 4 entire years. My hard work and dedication were immense, I took on various jobs throughout the four years. Furthermore, I served as a nurse to aid all the wounded, I was a skilled courier and a spy. I love my country for giving me refuge when times were tough, thus, I was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice to preserve it. Countless times, I was nearly killed, but I did not care because I yearned for danger and a way to contribute during the war. I, Franklin Thompson, believe I should be reinstated …show more content…
Perhaps it is unknown the magnitude of my accomplishments as a spy. Every single time I went behind rebel lines there was valuable information brought back to aid the Union. For instance, my first mission brought awareness to the Confederacy’s weapons, which is crucial. Knowing weapons allowed the Union to fortify our battle plan, and generate one that provided the necessary defenses for the South’s weapons. We might have never known the Confederacy’s artillery if it was not for my mission. Additionally, the battle that took place because of the information I gathered resulted in a Union win, which demonstrates the impact of my work. My mission as Bridget O’Shea exposed the Confederacy’s battle plan of ambushing Union soldiers, if I had not found this out, countless lives would have been lost due to our oblivion. As Charles Mayberry, perhaps my most daring mission, I was a detective that had to reveal who the Confederacy’s mole was. My duty was imperative due to the mole delivering Union plans to the Confederacy, hence, they knew the Union’s every move. Further, my strategy had to be complex and astute in order to gain Aylesworth trust, so he can give me the information. My plan involved feigning allegiance to the Confederacy, which could have gotten me killed by the Union, or the Confederacy if they uncovered my true identity. My extreme devotion and effort were given to assist the Union, my contribution was grand and altered the tide of
According to Henderson, “Historians of the new imperialism have tended to ignore the parallel histories of empire in nineteenth-century British North America”. He argues that in recent years, an increasing number of corresponding and connective histories have had the desire to locate early Canada as one site of an empire among others. He stresses how republicanism and a responsible government rely almost exclusively on published archival materials that have been used for a very long period (at least in Canada) by those who are interested in the history of the struggle for a responsible government.
Was it worth it? Did I go too far? All those years training to become and agent for the sake of defending the nation each generation of my family so proudly served, only to be rewarded with an immensely painful head ache and loss of feeling below my waist. I stare at what I now know is the ceiling of a
Initially, the NIA was implicitly imagined as a integrative institution, reminiscent of the American phrase “there is no black and white, only army green.” Individuals recruited would be sorted into divisions after basic training, regardless of ethnicity. The NIA was to think along national, not ethnic or sectarian lines; it was to be a microcosm of a vision of an egalitarian Iraq. In the tradition of civil-military sociologist Janowitz, the NIA was to be the national institution that would treat members uniformly in a new nation because soldiers are given “a new identity to supersede the old.” In truth, the NIA was initially conceived of as a nation-building exercise. Because the military embodies the elements of cohesion and and unity,
Since 2013 till I come to Melbourne on 2015, Amila didn’t have any of my expenses as I was earning well. Even after we got married he didn’t send me money during my stay in SL. I spent on both our families and friends. Plus holiday arrangements. I did spent on wedding while he spent only on his suite and my ring.
Kea and I began hooking up regularly on the weekends. He introduced me to a program at his church called “Teen Challenge”. It was hosted on Friday nights. There were some nice-looking church girls there. It kind of reminded me of Coming to America. The main reason why we were there were to plot on bitties (girls). Kea did his thing on the low. He is older than me by 1 year or two. He went to the Borough (Roxborough) High School and played football for the team. They had a good squad back then but Frankford ruled the city. When we got together, we swung around town or be chilling at his house playing each other in Tecmo Bowl trash-talking each other.
President Grover Cleveland recognized and warned in 1888, “Corporations, which should be the restrained creatures of the law and servants of the people are fast becoming the people’s masters.” In 2010, invoking personhood, Citizens United allowed corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money under a shroud of secrecy influencing elections — empowering corporations over people. Our political leaders have reshaped our policies, our regulations, and laws to benefit a handful of corporations who now control every aspect of our food system. A broken system from the “round-up ready ‘terminator’ seeds” of corn and soy crops to the lean finely textured beef (LFTB) also known as “pink slime” served on our children’s school lunch trays. All
The sound of blaring alarms stirs me out of my sleep. The world is a blur of activity, with my coworkers rushing around amid the flashing red lights and the wailing alarms. I sleepily rub my eyes, causing everything to come into focus. I slide out of bed, put my boots on, and head to the control center, hoping to find out what’s on. As I get there, a soldier approaches me and breathlessly says, “Sir, we’ve just about pinned him down. He just sprung one of our traps. Agent X will be in custody by the end of day.” I allow myself a small smile. We first received the orders three years ago, after he performed one of the greatest acts of sabotage ever seen, almost completely crippling the entire military. When the orders had come in that day,
Circumstance found myself out on a rural bridge watching the shadows grow longer as I photographed each passing VIA train one summer evening when I felt my cell phone vibrate. I took a look and it was a heads up that CN 149 was heading westbound through Aldershot and would soon head onto the Dundas Subdivision but was some 35 miles east of me at the time. I questioned if it would make it to me before sundown, but figured what the heck, I am here anyways, and I have nothing to lose, but possibly everything to gain.
Alex, let’s go home. The music is too loud now and I’m really exhausted. By the way the club is about to close in an hour anyways. My head is spinning. Let’s go to my house. Alex’s bracelet started flashing a couple of minutes later, which meant she had a mission to complete. I got so excited and said I will go with her, but she replied by saying that headquarters said that I wasn’t allowed to come in this mission and that I wasn’t feeling well too. I wondered why I wasn’t allowed, but that isn’t pertinent to what I started thinking. I was afraid something would happen since we were walking alone because it was midnight and bad things happen when we are alone on the streets. She wasn’t walking with the other agents because we have to meet
The development of mobile applications offers new solutions for communication among teachers, parents and students so as to expedite notifications and guarantee the receiving of the information and help school to pursue its work privately and securely, As Laura Briz-Ponce(2016) suggets.
I am seeking to obtain a Masters in Business Analytics from California State University, East bay. My purpose to join this program has grown over the time. Since my school days, my favorite subjects were Mathematics and Science, which laid the foundation for my inclination towards engineering. I qualified various entrance examinations (including CEE with State Rank 111) and was placed in 0.1% of engineering aspirants. This helped me getting admission to Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, which is one of the most prestigious institutions in India. My affinity towards programming languages, which I started studying at high school and the field of Computer Science, motivated me to take Computer Engineering as my major in undergraduate
