The Death Of The United States Air Force

The process of being chosen for Future Leaders of Jones County included writing an essay and then being interviewed by a panel that oversees the Future Leaders of Jones County. In the organization, we were broken off into small groups and mixed with students from different schools around the county. I played a large role in my group— the fundraising leader. Our goal was to meet the needs of our local Battered Women’s Shelter, which were providing bedding, laundry, and a new playground for the women and their children that were also being homed. This project was very close to all of us in my group because there are so many battered and abused women in our community. In order to achieve the shelter’s wishes, we had to raise at least $1,000, so I had to go out and raise the money. With the help of many in our community, I was able to help my group reach our $1,000 goal, and we were able to go above and beyond accomplishing our project of service. After buying the necessities (pillows, sheets, blankets, detergent) for the shelter, we were able to purchase and put together a completely new play area for the children. The whole project was a success and getting to help better our community by enabling these women to stand up and get out of the situation of being abused so that they can start a new life. Seeing women like this made me realize how important it was

My effort to serve my community have been an immensely important area that I always try to expand on. From my hundred and seventy service hours, I have learned that giving back even in small amounts positively affects the lives of the people involved. My favorite memories of serving my local area is during the special NJROTC ceremonies when I am able to see the wonderful faces of veterans and military families when we present the colors or the veteran with a flag. Through school, I have been able to see the faces of incoming freshmen in my workroom mature into the present sophomores and the students today. In my church, I am apart of the Ushering team which assists with the service every few weeks. Through this, I am able to see the bright

To proving that I’m eligible for this incredible honor and responsibility will be challenging for my actions do not reflect my true character. This organization can help me show my beautiful colors and share with the

I’ve dedicated Tuesdays and Fridays to mentoring 9th-graders about making their high school experience easier. My brother’s compassion leads me to mentor another class of special needs students. My passion for giving back to the less fortunate has led me to be a spokeswoman for the "Promise of Gwinnett" campaign and to speak in front of the GA Board of Education about my experiences with education. I made connections and strengthened my relationships with the underappreciated cafeteria staff and custodians through the Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy (CLA) as we threw them a celebration for their service. Every day I’ve been selling candy for CLA to raise money for a scholarship for those in need of financial aid. But my biggest success that triumphs in my heart is my dedication to Holiday

My community still faced hard times and this time it was more personal, with a death of a teammate. Still a heartbreaking experience and not easy at all, but my past experiences facing hardships helped me and my team. Now a senior in High School it is my opportunity to be the role model for all the students and families in my community. As I prepare for my last year in my hometown, I will use the experiences to lead me to the next journey and have a community that will take care of me, even when I am miles and miles

I should be awarded the Beauty P. Baldwin Scholarship due to my ambition and ability to succeed inside and outside of the classroom. I always strive to be the best I can be whether it is at school, home, or anywhere else. I love learning something new and expanding my knowledge by showing what I know. Helping people and volunteer work is one the main things that I enjoy doing each year because I like people to know that they are cared for. Having done lots of volunteer work like Toys for Tots, Jasmine's Closet, the Safehouse Outreach, and many other programs, I have realized the need helping people is at an all time high. All of these events that are listed are geared to helping people that are living without a good shelter, food, and people

There are times in our life when each of us has fallen ill. Many of us immediately consult the doctors. Our faith appears to have disappeared. As diligently members of the church, we do not stop to consulting God for His medical assistance. We can all identify with the woman with the issue of blood and how she spent all she had before she meet up with Jesus and just by reaching out and touching just the hem of His garment. She was made whole. Hezekiah quickly turns to the wall and consults God for a miraculous healing immediately. God extended His life just like that. We must gather ourselves and remember where all of our help comes from and that is the Lord. As, the trials of life comes about, we are waiting on the Lord. The fact of the

According to the U.S. Census, one in three children, or approximately fifth teen million, are growing up without their father. This is what I would consider an epidemic because the numbers continue to rise yearly. With the numbers continuing to grow, American children continue to suffer. It is critical that a father is positively active in their child or children’s lives because father’s provide a sense of safety, mothers cannot teach a child everything that a child needs to know, and households gain balance when the father is present. I will now better explain.

Just like Nicholas Herriman expressed, I often heard growing up that going to college and living on your own is a rite of passage to entering adulthood. I did not join the Marine Corps right out of high school. It was about two years after high school and living on my own when I decided to join the military, however the rites of passage was often used in the military as a way to signify that individuals are now a men for joining the Marines. What makes these two examples not qualify as rites of passage is due to the fact that they were not sudden events. These events were more of a longer transition.

"Ring around the rosy a pocket full of posies" begins playing the dancing death song round and round inside my head every time I look back at my life. When the news of the plague began hitting other towns around me that is when I became frightened that my city was being quickly destroyed. I started pleading my husband to not leave the house but he called me insane his words were "who else would bring the money to the table". He never was a good listener and it was when my husband passed away that I realized death is unavoidable. People began to question God whether he is with us or not. Chaos broke out in the towns, cities and finally the whole entire European country quickly started dying off. People began turning on the church and government for not having the medicine we need nor the love from God.

America’s military has been around since the beginning of this great country. This military has become one of the world 's strongest. The country has an Army, Navy, Marines Corps, Air Force, and a Coast Guard. Those branches don’t include all the people involved in the Reserves, Air National Guard, and the National Guard. As of the 31st of January 2015, America’s military included 1.4 million troops. America’s population has reached a total of over 321 million people. Less than 1 percent of the total population is serving in the military. Of that 1 percent, the LGBT, also known as the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, community is involved. Is the LGBT right for pushing to be in the military?

Wes was back living in a small town in Massachusetts because of his older brother, Wilson Oliver. It was backwards thinking on their mother’s part in Wes’ humble opinion, but she insisted on her father’s name with her first born. Later, when she divorced from their father, Wilson Oliver Wilson was never able to live it down.

According to recent data, suicide is in on the top ten causes of death in the United States. As the staggering number of suicides increases to over 36,000 a year, and more than a 100 each day. (O’Neil 1) When looking at the data for military veterans, the numbers are even more alarming, as the increasing number, is caused for a national concern. In the past decade the demographics for veterans that committed suicide was predominantly was white male and in the age range of 18 years to 25 years old. Many of the reasons found for their suicide was mostly related to job satisfaction, money problems, or relationship issues. However, since the military has been engaged in war after September 11th, the demographics have changed. No longer is the demographic profile predominantly white, but now it involves several races, as well as age ranges that extend up to 44 years of age. The issues that have been found includes the stress of deployment, knowing when the time is up, the stress of leaving their families, the stress of possible dying, and other added stressors. As McCarl (2012) points out, “For these service members to survive the battlefield only to return home and commit suicide is a notion that reeks of depressing irony.” (McCarl 398) Suicides by Veterans have become a growing health concern, as many have come back from war, trying to adjust to civilian life. The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the growing rates of suicide by war veterans. Examining the causes,

Kent State University, located in Ohio, faced a tragic event on May 4th, 1970. On this day members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of students ultimately killing four and severely wounding 9. (Lewis, Hensley) This massacre stunned the country. The various reactions to these students’ deaths came in a widely range throughout the country. Many citizens sparked a voice of belief against these actions and made a significant impact on the aftermath. Neil Young produced a highly acclaimed song, “Ohio”, about 10 days after the shooting. This song became an anthem for those Americans who were completely appalled by the actions involving the war in Vietnam (Songfacts). The legendary song, “Ohio” was an effective anthem to all Americans sparking a an impact to many protestors during a desperate and stressful time.

The United States Armed Forces is one of the largest, strongest, and most versatile military forces. Its elite capabilities derives from budgeting, alliance with other nations, and integration of a branches. This volunteer based force is a complex combination of men and women from all walks of life willing to lay forward their lives for this great nation foreign and domestic. Since the tragedy of September 11, the US military has been on high alert with their main focus on the War on Terrorism within Iraq and Afghanistan. Known for its ability to fight and win wars abroad, the US forces has lack the ability to conquer its own internal war on sexual assault and harassment. Named the invisible war, it is consider the most shameful and well-kept
