To All Military Men And Women

A letter to apologize for all the disrespectful people and to thank you for your service to our country.

Recently, more and more people have been very disrespectful to our country and veterans. On their behalf, I would like to personally say I am sorry that you have to see the country you are risking your life for, courageously (may I add), being so disrespectful to you all. Whether retired, currently serving, deceased, or wounded, you all have put your lives on the line to keep us safe. On that note, I thank you for your service to this country of ours.

It is a shame that some people are not thankful enough to you or appreciate what you do to keep us safe. Some people may argue that the government is the one who keeps us safe, but it is all of you that have done or are currently putting your lives on the line for all of us. Personally, I believe that each and every one of you are true heroes.

Also, I am extremely sorry for how many veterans are living on the streets when you come home. That is absolutely horrendous. For all that you do, you should be able to have a home, no problems finding a job (if need be), etc. I strongly believe that you should receive any treatments you need.

Some people who read this article will strongly disagree with what I have stated, that you should have a home, no issues when finding a job, receiving treatment, etc. Some people who read this article will strongly agree, and some will be stuck somewhere in between the two. Everyone has the freedom of speech; which they are entitled to say what they feel about a subject. This is the exact way of how I feel, and I will say it loud and proud. This is America. “The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.” I, for one, am proud of all that you do. I will stand with you, even if I stand alone. I believe in what I believe, and I believe that this is YOUR home, just as much as any other person’s. Again, I thank all of you for your service and sacrifices that you have made to the United States of America.

Mottos/Sayings of main branches of the U.S. Military:

  • United States Air Force: “Aim High… Fly – Fight – Win”
  • United States Army: “Hooah, Hooah” or “This We’ll Defend”
  • United States Marine Corps: “Semper Fidelis”
  • United States Navy: “Non sibi sed patriae” (“Not self but country”)
  • National Guard: “Always Ready, Always There”

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
