I founded CAVS 4 VETS after my dad and I had the honor of hosting several veterans from the Wounded Warrior project on our deer lease.

Lake Travis High School strongly encourages community service, but I wanted to start something that directly benefits our Central Texas Veterans. Cavs 4

My goal with this paper is to draw some parallels between the examples in the book and what I took away as applicable to our lives as infantrymen In the United States Marine Corps.

The article of “Children on the Battlefield” by MArcie Schwartz is about what the boys in the military experienced. During the Civil War,young boys wanted to serve in the military to find adventure. Since there was an age limit of 18,many young boys had to lie about their ages or run away and sign with a fake name so their parents won’t find them.

Taking action in the community is important to me because I like to make positive impacts that benefit the lives of

They receive the care they need to maximize their rehabilitation and live active and healthy lives. These warriors enjoy daily recreational activities and an excellent quality of life, empowered to achieve their full potential for independence.
