Nations have honored their veterans in many different ways. They pay their respects to those who have committed their lives to serve for our country and have lost their lives fighting. Our country is not differentiated. We pay our tribute just the same as any other country would. Our country has over 100 cemeteries to honor those who have passed from being in the military and/or other causes.
**At the tender age of ten years young, God whispered into my heart two life time dreams . His timing is always perfect, yet I never thought I truly could handle it.

Great Storytelling Lu Jia Delivered on a campus in California to an audience of a few thousands, yet it ended up inspiring tens of millions from both U.S. and worldwide; worshiped by Silicon Valley as the ultimate career talk, yet it embodied many aspects of life - chance, love, loss, and ultimately death. Short but smart, targeted yet universal, poignant and timeless – thus is Steve Jobs’ 2005 commencement address at Stanford. Some attribute its success to Jobs’ personal influence and charisma – they do add significant weight to the speech, undeniably. But close inspections from the lenses of rhetorical analysis allow us to appreciate this speech from a different perspective – in particular, how the speech was crafted into a fitting response to its rhetorical situation and how Jobs managed to strike a chord with his audience through the masterful use of logos, pathos and ethos, whether planned or not.
Brittany always imagined getting married in a historic church with stained glass windows. So when she + David walked into The First Presbyterian Church of Ocala--with it 's architecture dating back from the early 1900s--they knew it was the perfect place to exchange their vows.

David + Brittany are some of the most loving and kind people you will ever meet.

This seems quite adequate as a description, however, in our modern society, we are easily caught up in our ravels for success, for happiness, for love.

It might not be possible to truly define what kindness is, even though the dictionary makes an attempt, and perhaps it is not even necessary.

Legacy: First off, I’d like to thank my parents before anyone else. Between taking me to all my gymnastics competitions, practices, soccer games, basketball games, horseback riding lessons, I couldn’t put anyone before them. I wouldn’t be the athlete, student, or the person I am today if I didn’t have them in my life. My mom, Debra as most know, has had a great influence on my life. My mom and I are very close and I’m so glad I could have such an amazing relationship with my mom.
