Titan’s Graduation Speech Good morning COL Griffin, CSM Bolanos, SGM Jackson, distinguished guests, friends and family, and most importantly Good morning TITANS! I am honored to be standing in front of so many of you who have answered the call of their nation during a time of war. This is something that less than 1% of our nation’s population will ever do. You stand out as brave individuals and Soldiers today. Let me start of this morning by saying congratulations on a great achievement. I know all of you have put in a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication into understanding your role as a Chaplain Assistant. A role that is demanding at times and requires highly qualified Soldiers to perform it. It is fitting that you all are “TITANS”. If some of you are unaware, according to Webster’s dictionary a titan is: one that is gigantic in size or power: one that stands out for greatness of achievement. Over the past 7 weeks, you TITANS, have stood out for greatness in everything that you do. As a new member of the Chaplain Corps Branch, you have proven that you are capable of providing religious support to Soldiers in your future assignments, but do not take these skills that you have learned …show more content…
First, you need to have Devotion. The word does not have to be religious in nature but you must merely have love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for the job. This career field requires commitment to your Soldiers, Families, Leaders, and your Chaplain. There will be times where you will spend late nights with a Soldier in your unit who just needs a battle buddy to get them through a hard time. This word is a defining word in my book. A chaplain assistant who is devoted to their job is someone who goes above and beyond the call of duty to accomplish the
Since the dawn of the scientific revolution, historical advances has been made for the pursuit of a finer and a stronger understanding of life. But, not all advancements has benefited our society. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower addressed concerns regarding these developments in his “Farewell Address” speech. As his final speech as president, he leaves his audience with a message that may have shocked some listeners. Not to mention he also gave his thoughts on how we should go about solving our issues as a nation.
Thank you Veterans Veterans do a lot for us by defending our country and our home. We thank them by having a full day dedicated to our veterans. Three reasons that I think veterans should be thanked for are; going out to defend our country when no ones else does, I also want to thank you for demonstrating a great work ethic and doing all of this work for people you don’t even know. The first thing I want to thank you for was for defending our country.
Walking into graduation, every graduate expects to hear the same speech with little variance about reaching an important milestone in life but still having many more milestones. Paul Hawken delivered a different message with his commencement address, You Are Brilliant and the Earth Is Hiring. His message was filled with hope for the future since people are working together to build a better world for all. Hawken begins with, “Humanity is coalescing.
Winston Churchill, on behalf of peace and security of the whole world, arranges a speech in which he argues that the United States and Britain must collaborate and mobilize their forces in preparation to resist the military assaults of Nazi Germany and its allies. The speaker emphasizes the cooperation between two nations, reassuring that this military act is reasonable and appropriate. In order to better persuade his audience, he uses a number of rhetorical questions, vocabularies and phrases that highlight his specific points and appeal to people’s emotion as well as reiteration to reinforce his argument. As stated, the author uses rhetorical questions, which are virtually ubiquitous within the writing.
As an inexperienced officer leading veteran soldiers, Captain Macdonald makes an effort to earn his men’s trust and overcome his uncertainty—two important factors that would lead him to much success. “I must give these men confidence in me despite the fact they know that I am inexperienced” (Macdonald 1999, 14). Countless engagements and embracing K-rations, undesirable conditions, and sickness with his men, finally brought him to the conclusion that “these veterans of Company I had accepted their replacement company commander” (Macdonald 1999, 77). This sense of confidence and mutual trust contributed to his company’s success throughout the war. Despite his acceptance, the men he served with were “cold, hungry, miserable infantrymen, scared as hell inside, but too brave to admit it” (Macdonald 1999,

It is one of the most important things as it relates to the military, yet it is really only a part of what people would call a work

Though Remember the Titans contains a heartfelt and genuine message, the movie sacrifices historical accuracy to portray it. Training at Gettysburg, as depicted in the film, was rife with racial tensions and conflicts. Players regularly got into brawls, unofficially segregated lunch tables, and refused to communicate with players of another race. Julius and Gerry 's fight is a prominent example, escalating to the full-on brawl between the team. However, despite the intensity of the player 's prejudice portrayed in the movie, real life tells a different story.
Remember the Titans Film Review Remember the Titans is a classic movie based on a true story based in 1971 Alexandria, Virginia; about the struggles this newly integrated high school football team endure. This movie portrays many leadership themes throughout the movie; authentic, situational, and path-goal. (AUTHENTIC) One player who quickly emerges as a leader is Gerry Bertier; standing out for his personality and traits. He is team captain, passionate about everything he does and wants the best for not only the team as a whole but also the players as individuals.

Communicate effectively with my subordinates, never leave my soldiers uninformed, stand to protect my soldiers in any cost, and always place their needs above my own
We all understand how to be a good Soldier. We must not only know those values, we must encompass them. As Dempsey says; (2010) “The Army Ethic begins with the moral values the Army defends” (p. 12). As a Human Resources Sergeant in the Profession of Arms, we have a calling. We have been called upon to take care of so many in so many different ways.
Another aspect to look at is the moral of the unit. Moral of soldiers must be intact to hold soldiers together in the harsh environments they may face. Soldiers are often asked to work for long hours in difficult situations. They are asked to deploy to foreign countries far from home and perform tasks many choose not to do. For a soldier and further a unit to succeed in these tasks their moral must remain high.
