Who Made Rizal Our Foremost National Hero, and Why?

Thank you for serving. I can not tell how glad I am that you served in either the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, or the Coast Guard. From any of the wars, WWI,WWII,The Korean War, Persian Gulf War, The War On Terrorism (Afghanistan), the Iraq War, and the Texas Revolution. Thank you for serving. I cannot say how thankful I am that you made the ultimate sacrifice. I have no idea what you have been through in war. I am so grateful that you fought so we could celebrate veterans day, memorial day and all other holidays that only the U.S celebrates.

It's Liran Pinchas. I would like to thank you very much for your generous sponsorship, and for making it possible for me to study and succeed. It is without a doubt that if it weren't for your help I would not have been able to advance in the studies and succeed as well as I am doing now.

The American veterans did a lot for us. If it wasn’t for them we wouldn't be able to do the things we want to do. So appreciate those who serve for us. Think of this as a gift. If you open a gift you are happy. Just like when the Veterans serve for us we are happy. Also when you open the gift you are thankful. Just like when you found out the Veterans served for us you were thankful.

Do you know who Ulysses S. Grant is? You should because he is our 18th president of the United States, and was general of the Union in the civil war. General Grant has became an incredible leader, good strategizer, and in all a national hero.

In order to maintain what our veterans have done I will encourage people to use these rights to maintain our democracy. I will continue to be grateful for these freedoms by using them. I will use these freedoms for good by using my rights for what is good for this country. I will continue to speak my mind. I will continue to be actively involved in government. I will register to vote when I am old enough and I will allow this democracy to flourish. I am forever thankful for the veterans who protected this democracy and my rights to exist in it

I have been away for most of Adrianna's and her sister’s life, serving in our nation’s military fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and I am currently writing this letter to you from Kabul, Afghanistan. I am not home often, but I have always strived to be a

I was very happy to learn that I was the recipient of the Auxiliary Personnel Scholarship. I am writing to thank you for your generous financial support towards my higher education.

I would like to congratulate and acknowledge you for you becoming President of the United States of America. You proved your worthiness and dedication when you made life-risking decisions on the battlefield for the Spanish American War. You volunteered as part of the cavalry and brought upon leadership and encouragement. In the handout, Teddy Roosevelt in His Own Words, you even recite, “...in the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighted in the balance against that assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities, which we group together under the name of character;...” I am confident you will lead our country with that same leadership, enthusiasm and encouragement we need after such a cruel war. The Spanish American War as I remember began after we were having some conflict with Spain. The horrific part that made the chain reaction explode was on February 15, 1998. The USS Maine was no more. Yellow Journalism then took place, spreading rumors the Spanish had put a mine on the ship to blow it apart and saying “Remember the Maine!!” That night mixed with all the conflicts of the Spanish began the Spanish American War. I remember being on the field with you and your men, working

As a classmate, I want to say thank you, for the example you and your family

I have some family members that are supporting our country like you did. I’m not even sure where to begin to show my gratitude that I have for your service. Thank you so very much for sacrificing everything you had so that we could live in freedom. I am so happy for you that there is a program where you are able to go to Washington and visit the great places that this country has to offer. Thank you so much again for your service!

I must say that I appreciate your service and welcome you home, and I am

America’s gift to my generation is amazing because veterans have used all their potential for us. They fought for us to be alive right now. Their gift to us is much more than I expected. I am so thankful and I appreciate all they have done for us.

I would like to expand my appreciation to you regarding the generous scholarship which you awarded me. This scholarship is not only an amazing assistance to me and my family, but also an honor of which I am very proud.

Our country is rich in culture; the occupation of the Spanish, the American, and the Japanese gave the Philippines its diverse and unique culture. This exceptional culture we have in our country has produced numerous brilliant individuals, who up to this day are still well recognized. So it is safe to say that part of the reason why they became who they were is because of their culture; because of our culture. (Ong, 2011)

“Rizal had a burning desire to know exactly the conditions of the Philippines when the Spaniards came ashore to the islands. His theory was the country was economically self-sufficient and prosperous.  Rizal entertained the idea that it had a lively and vigorous community enriched with the collective and sensitive art and culture of the native population.
