I was brought up in the Marine Corps with this philosophy and have adopted it as my own. Leading from the front is often times one of the leadership principles that is easier said by some than actually done. Those so called leaders that would tell their Marines to do something that ‘they’ would never really do themselves. Coming in font of your Marines

General Charles Krulak, 31st Commandant of the Marine Corps, stated, "our challenge is to be a Corps of men and women who consistently represent the highest moral character in and out of uniform.” He believed character creates a foundation upon which successful military units are built and that from this foundation, honor, courage, and commitment will be evident, providing the perfect description of a United States Marine. As leaders, we are not meeting this

Monday, October 16, 1995, is the day that stood for unity, love, and brotherhood. The day one million Black men gathered in Washington, DC declaring for their right to justice. The day Black men made history.

Courage & Defiance is about World War Two in Denmark. On April 9, 1940, the government of Denmark had surrendered to the Nazis. The reason that the government surrendered was because that the army was very small and weak compared to the Germans. There are thirty-two characters in this novel, but I will name of the ones that sound the most important to me: Niels Skov, Jorgen Kieler, Thomas Sneum. These people spied and sabotage the Nazis in order to save their country.

The challenges I faced as a Marine inspired self reflection and growth. The lack of individuality

A true hero is not only characterized by having super strength, or beating the bad guys. A hero is a person who is looked up to, and appreciated by others. My dad is my hero, since he has helped those in need and is a good example for others who want to look up to him.
