John Ordway's Journey To Join The Corps Of Discovery

I am Charles Herring, born in Lufkin Texas October 12, 1983. I joined the ARMY in 2005. My jobs in the ARMY have been 13B (Field Artillery), 31B ( Military Police), and now serving as 79R (Recruiter). I have two deployments to Afghanistan equaling 27 months. My wife is Kristen Herring, my sons are Charles Jones Herring, and Paul Thomas Herring.

Albert William Clark was roughly born in September, 1983 at Devonshire, England. Clark’s occupation prior to enlistment was a sleeper hewer. Despite the fact that Clark was born in England, he enlisted on the 11th March 1915 at the age of 31 years 6 months in Mumballup, WA. Clark was of fair complexion and stood at approximately 170 centimetres in height. He could be easily distinguished by the scar located on his forehead.

Today in this passage I will inform you about two courageous, brave, and very intelligent men who were so similar yet extremely different. These two men are, nonetheless, known for their traveling. Christopher Columbus and Charles Lindbergh happen to be true outstanding men whom I will speak about in this passage. Christopher Columbus was the first man to try to discover an easier and faster way to get to Asia and instead “found” America; he made four trips to get across the Atlantic Ocean ("Christopher Columbus Biography”). Charles Lindbergh was the first man to fly solo transatlantic in his own airplane.At the time, he was also in the U.S. army and was working as an army air service reserve

Lewis had a very interesting life and he showed it in a countless number of ways. According to Bio.com, Meriwether Lewis was born near Ivy, Virginia, on August 18, 1774 (“Meriwether Lewis”). Before he led the expedition, Meriwether was

Hi,I am John W. Gunnison and I am here to drink my coffee and tell you about me. I was born in a house in Goshen (a town in Vermont). I was born November 11, 1812. On my 18th birthday I went off to Hopkinton academy and after I had one term there I went off to teach a local school. Soon I went off to west point military academy. around 1837 I graduated second out of 50 people. I decided to start military service later that same year I graduated.

On May 29, 1805, the night before the Corps entered the White Cliffs, a buffalo bull stampeded into the sleeping camp and rampaged around their fires, narrowly missing the heads of the sleeping explorers. After bending with its hooves, the buffalo was finally chased away by Seaman, Lewis’ dog. One of the men, Sergeant John Ordway, supposed in his own journal that “if he had trod on a man it would have killed him dead.”

You might be wondering”What did they earn out of doing these 2 years of exploration?” Both America and The Corps of Discovery learned about 200+ new plants and animals people at that time didn’t know about. They also learned the geography of the west due to Clark’s mapping.

Born on May 4, 1843, I was raised just like any other southern lady. My father was a merchant, and I grew up in Martinsburg, West Virginia with my parents, several brothers, one sister, and grandmother. I attended Mount Washington Female College of Baltimore from age 12 to

I first went into battle in the war of 1812, where I was aboard the vessel called the Essex which patrolled the South American region to hunt down British vessels. During the war, many British vessels had me surrounded me and killed 58 people of my step-dad’s crew. Yet, he saw my great ability to withstand pressurizing situations. During that war, I also changed my name to David in honor of my step-dad. In 1823, I married my first wife from Norfolk, Virginia, called Susan Merchant. Two years after my

Born to Peggy and Edward Garcia on October 4th 1984, I am a third generation American. My grandfather was born in Mexico and my father was born in New Mexico, while I was born at Fort Lewis Washington, I am a Soldiers Son. While growing up my father was stationed at various bases throughout the United States and I was “lucky” enough to tag along.

As the bus entered the heavily guarded military instillation, I gazed upon the sign that read, "Be All that You Can Be." When the bus stopped, several angry Drill Instructors boarded and began introducing us to a very colorful vocabulary, usually reserved for drunken Sailors. They instructed us to gather our belongings, get off the bus and assemble in a circular formation. As I searched for the strength to get up, I found myself moving, while several Drill Instructors yelled at us for our clumsy attempt to dismount the bus and fall into formation. I wondered if I had made the right choice. However, I have come to realize that my military experiences have tremendously enhanced my self-worth. From those first eight

I was born September 30th 1934, in New Orleans, Louisiana. My full name wad Truman Streckfus Persons. My mother was Lillie Mae, she was a small town girl. She fell in love with my father, and

I was told that if I had simply taken what was originally written and reworded it I would have been good as gold . I now have come to realize that my failure to follow orders is not only affecting me but it is affecting others. I am taking up a lot of my sergeants time by them having to wright counseling statements for me. Also I have been using the excuse that I am dealing with a lot of personal problems all at once, one after another etcetera and so forth. I could have avoided this entire situation completely by just

Becoming captain had tons of responsibility and many tasks to complete and I knew I wanted that position. Before I auditioned for captain I just thought you had to perform a routine in front of the three judges and they would choose whoever was the best and spinning their equipment and dancing. Also, I thought the band director would use favoritism and choose whoever he wanted as captain. I was very close with the band director, but I wanted him to choose who deserved captain not just who he likes the most out of the girls that auditioned for captain.

A great man once said, “Don’t let anyone tell you that you are marked, that you cannot overcome a past that failed to shine. You can.” This great man was Vernon L. Smith, author of Discovery — A Memoir. Smith grew up through the Great Depression and World War II, and in 2002, was awarded the Nobel prize for his contributions to experimental economics. In his memoir, Smith expresses that through his life experiences, his desire to learn and educate, and his contributions to experimental economics, he enjoyed the adventure of discovery.
