What Is A Commemorative Speech?

In times of war and conflict nations turn to their leaders to guide them and provide an example for their people. FDR is a well known historical figure who was a pillar of strength for the American people during the second world war. In his Day of Infamy speech, FDR tells the American people what they can do after their country has been attacked. In contrast, BH is a leader who has been forgotten by history, he fought for his people and was defeated. In his surrender speech he shows his people that their honor isn't lost because of defeat, These two addresses share their military context but differ in the purposes of the people giving them.

Welcome to New Haven Middle School’s Veterans Day Assembly. A lot of people think it’s just another assembly that you go to and just listen to people talk, but it’s more than just that. It’s about honoring our loved ones and the fallen ones, the ones who came back injured or scarred for life. We go to airports and gym’s where a meeting s held to welcome home our soldiers. Some kids ask their parents or someone they know about who gives us our freedom. All they have to say is someone who fights for our country. Freedom is NOT free. It may seem free because certain people are out fighting to protect us and our country. Some people throw a party or a huge welcome home gathering or make tons of signs to show their thanks. I’m sure they love it but I’m also sure all they would want is a simple thank you.

Thank you very much for sharing your testimony, what an amazing way to accept Jesus Christ as your savior, another opportunity to become even closer with your daughter. God sure does works in surprising and mysterious ways. When I read what your father told you not to forget that you were Jewish, it reminded me of what my mother told me when I broke the news to her that I was going to a protestant church. My mother raised me Catholic, but I always knew there was something missing I just did not know what it was. A year before I gave my life to Christ I began to talk to God and asked questions such as What I'm I doing here? Was I born just for this? There's got to be more than this, but what is it? It wasn't until a year later

VI. When I was born he taught me to be the strongest person I could be and to do my absolute best at everything I try.

When I started doing this tribute speech I had the wrong definition of the word tribute. After talking about it in class and explaining to me I had a better thought process. The tribute speech I am writing about is about my father. I want to tell how important he has been in my life and everything he has done for me.

An older man is slumped in a rigid metal chair. He is barely visible over the multiple rows of people surrounding him. His hands clasp his seat, trying to steady the rest of his body. A few tears trail down his rough cheek. The final notes of taps echo across the gymnasium. My brain takes a while to adjust to the fact that I had just seen my grandpa cry. I had never seen this tough yet loving man break down like that. I wanted to rush over to hug and comfort him. He located me in the crowd and shook his head, smiling. This was his moment. He finally acknowledged the sacrifices he had made, and was feeling true appreciation for his service. A simple middle school Veterans Day program was what it took to break through some of the pain of his

Speeches form an interpretation of historical events and values which are moulded around the speaker's opinions and ideology. Paul Keating's 'Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier' 1993 and Noel Pearson's 'An Australian History for Us All' 1996, demonstrate a contrast between how a historical and contextual understanding of these speeches helps create the necessary apperception on the given audience to convey the speaker's message appropriately. Despite the fact that both speeches were given in the mid 1990s, they were addressed to different types of

Honestly, both my mom and I--whenever we watch you--I know you haven't done all the plastic surgery stuff, but you look incredible. And I know it's not just the physical. You have lots of joy and happiness with what you're doing, and you have that inner light that radiates out.

While many have called the American flag “Old Glory,” few know how that nickname began. Fewer still know about the fight that continues today – 184 years later – over a the original flag that was first called “Old Glory.”

In 1775, the citizens of America were under duress by the pressure coming from Great Britain and also their own country. The citizens wanted their liberties back, however, the country as a whole was more reluctant to push the issue to a state of war. In his speech at the Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry argues how war is crucial for Americans to regain their liberties by explaining that the British invasion is inescapable, and by illustrating how the citizens are ready and prepared to fight.

Remembrance Day. A time of reflection on those who sacrificed themselves for our country, Australia. In considering the value of Remembrance Day, we need also to consider the value of one of the most prominent Remembrance Day speeches, Paul Keating’s `Funeral Service of the Unknown Soldier' in 1993, at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

For those attending the celebration, please wear red or pink to honor Lily.

The commemorative speeches overall were well presents as a class. JR has a good speech. I think this was one of his better speeches were he kept the audience attention throughout the speech. His body paragraph was easy to follow and his included great background on why LeBron James is the man he is today. RJ had credible sources which made him credible in the audience’s eyes. JR has a bad habit of leaning on the podium when he speaks and I think that is the one think he should learn from during his time in the class.

A.  Against heavy enemy fire and heavy casualties, these men charged the beach in attempt to

On March 7, 2015, President Barack Obama delivered a commemorative speech fifty years after the historic civil-rights confrontation at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. The president delivered a moving speech the highlighted how far the United States has progressed since March 7, 1965, but he also criticized modern systems of oppression. The first lady Michelle Obama, former President George W.Bush, one hundred men of congress, and the U.S Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, a man who experienced the march at Selma, were the powerful political figures who joined him on stage. The president paid tribute to the marches who were beaten near death by state troopers on March 7, 1965, as they aimed to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge toward Montgomery
