Humorous Wedding Speech: Back To The Union

It is full summer and upon the horizon, I see soldiers coming, they are forever coming, it seems. Though they will soon leave us alone. For some insane reason, crazy people, scare them away. This place, has become my haven. You would think, after a hundred and forty years, I would have grown tired of this place and moved on; but when my Henry, was killed at Vicksburg, I completely lost my mind.

Not many people would withstand having to go off to war knowing their life was on the line. There is much respect and gratitude inclined towards those who did and sacrificed everything they had. Our cordially veterans - the ones who fought and endured the bestial wars, the ones who knew they could fall at any moment, the ones who, despite the horror and fear

I'm so excited for you! It's your birthday! Yay! I wanted to surprise you a box of presents to put a big smile on your face and to show my appreciation for you and all you do. You're a terrific friend and a constant source of encouragement-not only to me-but to everyone you know! You bring so much joy to others, and you know how to make people smile and laugh. When you throw a party, you seek to make sure the needs of everyone are met and you'll plan little details to make to make sure everyone's having a good time. From creating your own made up game on New Year's Eve, to making Papa Murphy's pizza and some healthy snacks to go along with it, you put the cherry on top of the cake called hospitality. I've seen you grow so

Words are tremendously weak to express how strongly I missed you. Although our invincible love can never break us apart, my responsibility toward my country came like a vigorous tornado that alienated our golden chain. I’m writing this message to tell you that today we are preparing for our next combat of Vimy Ridge, after the dreadful slaughter that occurred at the Somme battle.

Hey, how are you all doing out there ? Well, me I have just been trying to stay healthy and keep my head high so I can make it back to the only thing I have and that’s you all “my family”. I try not to think about you all too much because when I think about what's going on out there it makes me mad and I am so tired ‘’omg’’. We don't eat that much during war but when we get back to the base we eat pretty good, well actually really good. I notice that a lot of people donate food and medicine and first-aid kits too. I just got an Lee-Enfield rifle and it's a pretty nice gun, it can hold 10 bullets. I just been waiting to use it on, Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire against the Allied forces of Great Britain, and there are some

It is March first, I miss you so much it is unbearable. Sleeping can be awful out here in the trenches only because I want to be home in a comfy bed again safe and sound where war isn’t the only thing on my mind. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I can’t breathe because I dream someone has invaded our trenches and shot me. It isn’t easy being out here but if it means fighting for you then it is what I will do.

April 6-7, 1862 Southwestern Tennessee. Once in the ranks of military life, I discover life turned out different than what I expected a soldier’s duty would be. I did not know the hardships that came with my signature. I saw the battlefield as a great challenge upon which I will either “secure my liberty” or “save the Union.” While I acknowledge that humans will die and losses will come around, I never envisioned the daily struggles to be in military camps, never thought in my wildest dreams, that twice as many soldiers would succumb to death from disease in military camps as from bullets, shells, and bayonets in battle.

Yesterday I was at work from sunrise till it was pitch black dark. Today I am completely wrecked and can’t be bothered doing anything but tomorrow and for however long the war goes for I will be at it again and again day after day. The days that follow after the battle are a thousand times worse than the days of the battle and it’s not the physical pain that hurts the most it is the mental pain that leaves the mark. The dead people look sickening but they don’t suffer any pain, But the poor wounded soldiers that still have their life are suffering both physical and mental pain and are living through what some people would call hell. I pray to God that this ferial event will stop. Our Regiment started this morning for Harpers Ferry. I am told with a few others and the nurses to remain here until the wounded have been removed then to join up with the Regiment again. I am expecting there will be another massive fight at Harpers Ferry again soon. My Dear Wife I dream of the day I pass the Hibbards house and see you and Amy waiting outside our house welcoming me with open arms, I also dream of the day I am lying next to you in front of our open fire with our beautiful daughter. You

The Union has now won the war. Therefore, get ready to welcome back the soldiers who fought to keep our nation together. (See details on page 2)

I have gotten up this early to write you a few lines -- I have not heard from you for a long time though I know you have written, but our course has been so erratic that letters have not been able to find us. We have gained a great advantage here -- we went into Md. leaving some 12000 of the enemy here in the Valley -- by going into Md. we cut them off from their communication, left a force to keep them cut off - then swept round by Frederick, Middletown & Williamsport and then swept them out of Martinsburg and gathered them all into Harper's Ferry & then came down here Saturday last and completed the [unclear: investment] of the peace -- having troops on all sides of it - - we put cannon on the Blue Ridge, drove them off the Md. Heights and turned the artillery there against them, so by Monday Morning we had everything in readiness & when we opened on them they found opposition of no use with raw troops such as they had and they surrendered

When we got to Gettysburg this morning with all the men, a few of our scouts saw a bunch of Union cavalry, south of town, coming quickly. I bet we could have beat them right then and there, but Smith said to not initiate battle. We went back to Cashtown to face General A.P. Hill. Hill then sent his “best men” to go back and investigate. His “best men” included me, but none of my superiors. How embarrassing! We came back to let everyone know that there definitely would be a battle tomorrow. I am ecstatic that he chose me to go over my superiors. I’m assuming that there will be a battle tomorrow. More good news is that Smith is to weak to fight tomorrow! I will have the opportunity to lead my men to a victory at the battle of Gettysburg. I have to go consult with other generals about tomorrow’s plans. I’ll write you again tomorrow

Although it’s been nearly a year since I’ve last visited home, the fight continues to rage on. Your care package with all the goods, including the fresh pair of socks, was very nice. I saw a fellow soldier in my unit die from trench foot about a fortnight ago. It was terrifying to witness, as his toes were all permanently stuck together, but I stay out of the poor conditions of the trenches as much as a can. Another surprising event that occurred was when I was dozing off. I realized there were rats in my blanket with me. Disgusted, I quickly jumped up and tried kicking them around, but they got away.

I Kaylin Otis, made it through the winter at valley forge. It was a harsh winter, most of us had a feeling we weren’t going to survive. A lot of our men have passed away because it was a little ice age. We didn’t have many supplies to support all of us. George washington our general tried and tried to distract us from the misery, but nothing really seemed to work. I tried writing back to my family, but my hands were purple and hard to move. Constantly shivering. I have never been so cold in my entire life. I remember praying several times a day, hoping i would get through this, and i will make it home to my family safely. I was so sad at a time like this, but Marquis De Lafayette keeping everyone’s spirits high. He was one of the richest

I appreciate all that you have sent for me out here, from the magazines to the homemade cookies. Especially the cookies, although I do wish they were fresh out of the oven back home. I long for the days I came home to the savory, alluring smell of a home cooked meal or the times I spent with father learning how to blacksmith. Initially, it’s what I thought I would end up doing but instead here I am confined to the recruit barracks. I write to you from a cavernous room filled with about 30 men. All my comrades are resting for an attack tomorrow, but I cannot put myself to sleep through this storm. Off in the distance, I hear low crackles of thunder and a slight rhythmic pattering of raindrops on the roof. War here is not at all what I thought it

Hello. Good evening to all. As the eldest daughter of Fortuneboy Villalobos, I just want to share my insights regarding about the news I learned from my father. He was hesitant at first to tell it to me, due to how it would affect me. To the person, who knows exactly who she is, who started all of this dilemma. I am utterly devastated on what you did. Try to think, I am only 19 and you're in your mid-twenties but it looks like I am more mature than you are. And I heard that you're a guidance counselor? How can you guide younger minds when you, yourself, needs to be guided. If you're intellectual enough to think, with all these humiliation and posting degrading stuff. What would it benefit you? For what? Shame on you. Lastly, I hope the admins
