Rogerian Educator Analysis

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

INTRODUCTION: How many people have a Veteran in their family or know one? If yes do you help them or is it someone else’s problem. Well many people think it’s someone else problem, but the truth is it’s our problem.

On May 12, 1962, General Douglas MacArthur addressed the cadets at the West Point Military Academy in his speech Duty, Honor, Country, during the reception for the Sylvanus Thayer Award. This award is given to an “…outstanding citizen of the United States whose service and accomplishments in the national interest exemplify personal devotion to the ideals expressed in the West Point motto, duty, honor, country.” As the one receiving this prestigious award, General MacArthur truly exemplified these values as he had acquired the rank of General of the Armed Forces while serving in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. Within the speech Duty, Honor, Country, MacArthur utilizes logos, pathos, and ethos in order to appeal to the cadets

Mark henan: We have any military veterans in the audience today? At ease all that “rucus”, what do you think this is? college? Greetings to chairman Davis. President Jackson. Members of the board and trustees. Family ,friends, and my fellow graduates. May I share, may I share, my story in an essay format. After high school I went to college for one term and quit. Joined the army and 20 years later I found myself in the final stages to deploy to Iraq. Unfortunately, I was injured. My team with whom I had a bond forged in steel went to Iraq without me, but not everyone retuned. They sacrificed their dream so that we could dream big. And today I speak for those who no longer have a voice. As the story goes my injuries left me immobile and I couldn’t

The beliefs, values, and customs that are associated with the armed forces has cultivated into a unique culture within the military community (Hall, 2016, p. 41). In essence, a sub-culture has been established that is distinctly different from the culture of the United States. Thus, those that enter military service resign themselves to the fact that the military lifestyle is a departure from the civilian lifestyle and therefore, will differ from society as a whole. The military itself is rigidly structured, an aspect that essential not just to the military’s purpose, but to its continued existence. Thus, personnel, and by extension their families, are required to not only adhere to the many rules and regulations, but embrace them as well (Hall, 2016). Honor is a central tenet within the armed services and is ingrained within the culture (Hall, 2016). As such, the military mission has created a culture that champions having “the right stuff”, so to speak, and encourages the suppression of feelings and emotions (Hall, 2016, p. 11). Moreover, this warrior society embraces secrecy, stoicism, and denial, as these concepts are viewed as essential ingredients to the success of the self,

These expectations include the listeners knowing a few things about veterans, and that his speech will influence the listener to act. First, Moore assumes the listeners understand what military school is, how it is run, and what effect military school education might have on an individual. Furthermore, it is assumed the listener has said the phrase “thank you for your service” to a veteran, that the listener wants to engage in a meaningful conversation with a veteran, and they are not a veteran themselves. To explain, Moore does not teach the listener what military school is, or its effect on an individual. Furthermore, he only mentions the phrase “thank you for your service” without mentioning that there may be other things a person can say to a veteran. Not to mention how Moore doesn’t attempt to convince the listener to engage in meaningful conversation with a veteran. Moore also assumes veterans would know how to talk to each other and therefore his audience does not contain veterans. Second, Moore wants his speech to influence his audience. Immediately, Moore wants his audience to reflect on what any veteran has gone through and what the phrase “thank you for your service” means to a veteran. When he tells the story about the two other veterans and explains how “thank you for your service” needs to be more than something a person says to a veteran. Overall, Moore wants his speech to give the listener the ability to

On December 20th, 1989 a sergeant named William Delaney Gibbs was killed in action. In this, he left his wife and unborn daughter at home and without a father or husband. David Kim served along side of William and knowing about his family with their situation he created the Children of Fallen Patriots organization in 2002 to help Williams unborn daughter go to college. The children of the fallen patriots is an organization set up to help other families like Williams that cannot afford college or need help producing money. They help families get through their troubles and hope they can make an impact on the kids along with the family. The children of fallen patriots help only because of pure respect to the soldiers that gave their life protecting the country and wish to give their children as much as they need to get through college and through life.

The first sentence of Audie Murphy’s biography reads, “Audie Leon Murphy was a legend in his own time” (“Sergeant Audie Murphy Award,” 2015), a seemingly fitting introduction for one of the bravest combat soldiers in our nation’s history. Never the less, I believe it simply does not do him the justice he earned. Audie Murphy was not just a legend in his own time; he is a legend today, and remains a legend of the future. Many people recognize his famed name and know him to be a war hero. Nevertheless, most are not fully educated on the “legend” that was, is, and always will be Audie Murphy. I, for one, intend to portray this American hero’s story to as many people as possible. Audie Leon Murphy set the standard of what battlefield courage

Question 10: The more innovative training initiatives underway to improve the cultural sensitivity of soldiers in combat zones are educating the soldiers about the culture and religious beliefs of

It is with the fondest of memories that after 30 years of starting that journey that I would like to dedicate this story to the wonderful people that I served with at, what I am sure we would almost all agree, was the defining point of our lives. This book is dedicated

Young boys, seemingly in their nature, often play with their friends and pretend to be soldiers. I recall using nerf guns and walkie-talkies for top secret missions around the neighborhood. It wasn't until I grew older that I began to understand a soldier’s true significance. I soon became infatuated with American history. By the time the school curriculum covered an era

The author experienced the culture shock all new recruits receive during their initial basic training. James’s physical conditioning prior to enlisting into the Army proved to be a valuable asset, due to the physically demanding rigors associated with military training. The author’s physical presence and life experiences equated to admiration from the younger recruits. Affectionate memories were made teaching the younger recruits exercises and submission holds during down time from training. It was at this point in the author’s life that he knew he wanted a profession in which he could help others. Upon completion of Basic Training, and Advanced Individual training, James saw his parents again, whom he had not seen in several years. The author was pleased to see his ever loving mother who was radiating in pride of her son’s life journey thus far. The author’s father stated that it was about time his son had done something worth meaning. During James’s adolescence this comment may have

My first visit to the Naval Academy was on family trip while in grammar school. On this and subsequent visits, the young men and women who chose to devote their lives to country and service greatly impressed me. As a high school student, I had the good fortune to experience Academy life via my acceptance to the competitive Summer STEM program, my invitation to Candidate Visit Weekend, and my participation in the Elite Throws Sports Camp. Through these first-hand experiences, I grew in awareness and commitment to an Academy education as an opportunity to enable me to serve my country. Moreover, I am honored to be a member of a gold star family, via my uncle Senior Master Sergeant Peter Bondi, recently deceased on active duty, and to have had a grandfather who served in the National Guard. Eulogies delivered for my Uncle Peter reflected a life of service and were a source of inspiration that fueled my resolve to serve.

No human being could fail to be deeply moved by such a tribute as this [Thayer Award]. Coming from a profession I have served so long, and a people I have loved so well, it fills me with an emotion I cannot express. But this award is not intended primarily to honor a personality, but to symbolize a great moral code -- the code of conduct and chivalry of those who guard this beloved land of culture and ancient descent. That is the animation of this medallion.

Popular media sparked the imaginations of children. In the periodical magazine “Our Young Folks” stories could be found of children enlisting in the ranks of the military, and personally encountering the immoral behavior of the enemy, as the child-hero in the story fought the good fight.
