One of my favorite quotes is, “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” - Albert Einstein. I believe that service to other individuals is the most powerful act humans are capable of. The military’s goal is ultimately to ensure this. Sometimes this requires aggressive action and sometimes this requires direct humanitarian aid, such as in the wake of the Haiti earthquake.

The Congress authorized the establishment of a Medical Service in July 1775 (Owen, 2007). The move was to enhance the coordination of medical care that was necessary for the continental army during the time of revolutionary war.

Lastly Dwyer and Flynn provide logical reasoning for why there were struggles with the evacuation process and why there was poor communiction between police, firefighters and co workers and citizens. "The 1938 code had required that the columns of tall buildings be able to stand against fire for four hours; the new code reduced that to three hours. For the floors, the earlier code had demanded three hours of fire protection, the new code cut that to two" (pg. 106) This quote shows how the bulding was getting more and more weak and unsteady through out the years with less fire protection which means the building is not capable to undergo huge amounts of fire and smoke from the attack. Which explains why the building collapsed just a couple hours after the attack.

The rhetoric of faith, as a whole, can spread from Jeremiads outlining an ideal society all the way to speeches within a normal classroom setting; nevertheless, it always plays an important role when an audience has to take a leap of faith into a rhetor’s arms. Narrowing down the wide spectrum of these sermonic texts, one may arrive at Queen Elizabeth I’s “Speech to the Troops at Tilbury”, which was originally crafted in 1588. Just as some of her former speeches have done, Elizabeth ensures an effective presentation using many different types of rhetorical
