My father was born at the turn of the twenty-first century and got to grow up with the constantly changing technology of the time. This adaptability would serve him well later on in life. Throughout his school years, he was an excellent student. By the age of fifteen he had achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in Boy Scouts of America. Heavily involved in scouts, he supported them for the remainder of his life. During his senior year in high school, he attended Eastfield College in Mesquite. The next year, he was accepted and attended the United States Naval Academy. There he majored in quantitative economics and minored in Chinese studies.

Father’s 100th birthday was celebrated March 8, 1987, with a centennial at 37 McDonald Drive, Sioux City, Iowa, in the home he built seventy years before. Seventy-five of his 86 progeny gathered to honor the event. It was indeed a special occasion.

We keep Lincoln’s promise to our veterans and their families by doing many things. Some of these things are really important to many of the veterans of the United States of America. I chose to talk about only a few of these things. To begin with, I chose to discuss remembrance of veterans. Then, to give donations to the veterans and their families. These things can really help veterans have an enjoyable life even if they lost a limb or two.

When I started doing this tribute speech I had the wrong definition of the word tribute. After talking about it in class and explaining to me I had a better thought process. The tribute speech I am writing about is about my father. I want to tell how important he has been in my life and everything he has done for me.
