War Is...........

War is changing, planning the future.
War is remembering, reminding us of our past.
War is crawling, fighting the enemy.
War is needed, protecting our rights.
War is killing, murdering our soldiers.
War is standing, believing our rights.
War is serving, destroying  both sides.
War is taking, expanding our horizons.
War is shedding, spilling innocent blood.
War is devsstating, demolishing families.

Book Review #1

Peck's On the Wings of Heroes amazed me with the in depth details.

The account of all the children at school bringing in rubber items was hilarious. It told about one kid in class bringing an old bike tire, and others bringing other ridiculous items as well. Almost all of the parent were in support of what the children were doing. One of the parents were mad because her son brought in one of her personal items.

One thing that I did not like about the book was that it did not have a lot of combat in it. This story mainly told what most Americans did during WW2. I thought that the book would have more action in it than it did. So that disappointed me.

My favorite part of the book was when they described Halloween. How the kids in the neighborhood would take sticks and place between the horn on the car and the driver seat so the horn would stay on. Or how kids would go and get candy, and how teenagers would go and play pranks on the older people.

I would recommend this book to almost anybody who enjoys reading war books.

Remembering 9.11

I believe that 9.11 was a very humbling for all Americans. All of the people who helped to plan the act of terrorism that the Taliban executed that day. The ones who where killed should not have got off that lucky. They should still be alive today should be in a very small, cramped jail cell in a furnace with just enough food and water to stay alive.

I think that America responded to the acts of terrorism that was performed on that day correctly. We went to war with those sorry heaps of flesh that tried to kill us. We lost a lot of good American soldiers and innocent people thanks to those attacks.

I believe that a group of people who would do such a horrible thing have to be heartless. They could take a airliner and fly into the World Trade Center have to be some of the sorriest people on the face of the Earth. It is hard to believe that a group of people who could do such a heartless act towards a bunch of innocent civlians are even from the same planet as us.
