I Met Officer George Banks When I Was 12 Years Old

I come from Killeen, Texas and graduated from Robert M. Shoemaker High School. During my time as a high school student, I participated in JROTC, Civil Air Patrol, and the Knights of Columbus Squires, and the School’s robotics team. In these extracurricular activities, I developed valuable lessons that would benefit me in my time at Texas A&M University and the Corps. In my JROTC unit, I had an Army First Sergeant as a mentor who would instruct me on certain leadership skills and taught me how to be a humble even in the midst of failure or success; In Civil Air Patrol, I was in the unit color guard and earned

We sat down on the leather, red couch and I slipped out my interview questions. I decided ahead of time to write the questions I was going to write about. I chose to ask about his interactions with his childhood pets, so I then looked him in the eye and asked him.

Beginning my love of reading an early age, I was never the type of child who was drawn to fictional stories. As an 8 year-old child in West Virginia, I was recognized by the local library for my love of biographies, autobiographies and recollections of world events. This love has continued throughout my adult life, desiring to read novels such as “We Were Soldiers Once…and Young” by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore rather than watch the major motion picture “We Were Soldiers” starring Mel Gibson. Even though the motion picture received multiple awards, when reading the recollection of Mr. Moore’s accounts, the feeling of loss, distress, anxiety and fear can be felt in each word that he has written while reliving this horrendous war.

This book also shows the dark sides of the generation that fought for our country. It points out the racism and ignorance shown towards those of different backgrounds and ethnicities. Although those who served in the military fought their hearts out, they still held the prejudices that they had learned and grown up knowing in their hearts. They treated those that were dissimilar with ignorance and in some cases malice. An example of this is the story of Johnny Holmes. During his military service, he was forced to undergo medical experiments such as getting his teeth drilled without Novocain. Holmes was an integral part of one of the first all-black tank battalions and served exemplary. Even

Have you ever seen a veteran that served in the war of Afghanistan and traveled allot around the world? I am interviewing for my study Mr.Konrad, born April,16,1989.He lives in Maumee,Ohio With Mrs.Konrad.Also he has a dog and a baby named Kennedy who is six months old.

He’s very smart and, without a doubt, will be the brother that makes it out of their infested neighborhood. Lajoe Rivers is the mother of the boys and she tries to give them as much encouragement as she can, though it is hard because her eldest son failed her by turning to the streets and going to prison.

I am Martin Griffin, I was born in County General hospital San Andreas Twenty Five years ago. I grew up in a American-Italian Family Known as the Splitzers, We had a hard life living Side by side with the black gangs of San Andreas in ganton, There was 8 of us in one house. So up until the age of 18 all I ever knew was the gang life style, Truck Raids Robberies Racing That kind of thing. I never thought about the cop lifestyle at all Until a tragic event happened, When a gang attacked the gang living next door to us. It was Arson the family home I grew up in was totally destroyed luckily we all got out alive. One thing that upset me was the fact that the gang was never caught due to the fact that it took the LSPD seventeen minutes to get to the scene. That made me pursue The career of a Cop So I decided to search for any available cadet apprenticeship.

A second example of my relationships with the police is my cousin Johnny Basilio. Johnny is in his 30s or 40s and, like Mr. Haley, is also an incredibly nice guy. I rarely get to see him because I don’t get to see that side of often but when I see him, he’s always happy and nice to talk to. One story I have of him is when his sister, my cousin Karen, had twins they decided to name him as one of their godfathers. When they asked him, with everyone around, he broke down in tears of joy. Another story is, coincidentally, at my high school graduation party. My party was shortly after his wife died from cancer, so he came and was inside talking to my mom about life and other things for a while. Eventually, he and my mom were talking about food and he asked who the caterer was and mentioned how the

As the end of the week approaching, I was getting nervous with conducting my one on one interview with Officer Alexander. Mr. Alexander is a cousin to one of my good friends, but I never met him before. The interview was scheduled Saturday February 18, 2017 to sit at Café Café on Clearview for breakfast. Mr. Alexander was not able to make it to Café Café, so he asked if I may meet him at home with his family. My friend offer to take me to her cousin’s house because I was not sure if that was a good idea. Upon arrival to Officer Alexander’s house he was outside washing his truck, and smoking a cigar. Which, I may add was not a pleasing smell to my nose for about fifteen minutes. After being introduced he asked his

Among all the Americans who put their country in front of his or her life, Mr. Benjamin Anthony Hughes was one of them. He went to high school at Vandalia-Butler High School just north of Dayton. His story all started when a teacher in high school suggested that he should look into ROTC as a way to help pay for his college. He signed up and received a scholarship to Xavier University not knowing what was ahead of him. Part of the agreement for the scholarship was that he should take part in military courses during college, then once he graduated he would spend 4 years in the Army. He moved around the country for the next two years training for his next place. He was stationed in Baltimore (Maryland), Seattle (Washington), Destin (Florida),

The interviewee is a heterosexual male, Hawaiian Filipino and was born in 1945 in the city of Lanai, Hawaii. Mr. Anthony Sanchez is a retired Master Sergeant in the United States Army. He served in four tours in the Vietnam War. In 1960 he was a senior in high school in Lanai, he was the youngest of seven children and all his brothers had joined the military so he believed that that was also his path. In 1961 Mr. Sanchez graduated high school at 17 and was poised to be inducted into United States Army that very summer after graduation. The relationship I have with the interviewee is that he is my best friend father and we’ve been acquainted for over 30 years. He served as my mentor in my past carrier in the U.S Army and is deserving of my utmost respect which is why I call him Uncle, which is a sign of respect from my island culture.

I interviewed my papa Sergeant Ronald Gerken. He was born on December 11th, 1946 and is the father to Heather Rahman and the late Eric Gerken. He is married to Stephanie Gerken and they currently live in Maumee, Ohio. He was in the Vietnam War and his branch was the Army.

Lyman, who is the younger brother, never had a problem coming up with money. He excelled in every job he took upon himself. At the age of fifteen he was working as a dishwasher at a café, but at the age of sixteen he owned the shop. “It wasn 't long before the whole thing was mine” (103). In this quotation we can see how Lyman was good at improving himself in the work force. Also from this quote we can emphasize that he somehow knew he was going to progress, and it didn’t come as a surprise to him. Unfortunately his café got hit by a tornado before

Hello everyone. Today I had the honor of interviewing a local military veteran who goes by the name of Jason. Instead of asking about war and things of that nature, I decided that the topics discussed in this interview would stray off the battlefield and include a few random questions to make the interview a little more interesting. My reasoning for this was that he has probably been asked millions of question about war or of the military. I personally took a liking to this fellow right away.

But I knew police weren’t all bad. One of my father’s closest friends was a cop. He became a mentor to me and encouraged me to join the force. He told me that I could use the police’s power and resources to help my community." He continues by talking about his experiences in the police force, " So in 1994, I joined the St. Louis Police Department. I quickly realized how naive I’d been. I was floored by the dysfunctional culture I encountered.
