Letter To Veteran's Day
Certainly. I look forward to meeting you in person in Nov. 11, Veteran's Day. I have marked this event on my calendar.

I want to apply for the Ph.D program in UW anthropology department. Will GRE a must? My GRE score is pretty poor. As a Zhuang ethnic minority, I wish to do a research combines anthropology, law and environment together. Would you please give me some advice in applying the Ph.D program?

Best wishes to you for a wonderful tour in China.

    In the early stages of the Vietnam Veteran Memorial people used verbal and racist attacks directed towards Maya Lin because of the fact that she was an Asian American building a memorial in remembrance of a war that took place in Asia. Ross Perot had pledged 160,000 dollars to help run the competition withdrew his support and called it a “trench”. Numerous veteran groups also showed their disapproval some said it lacked heroic or patriotic symbols. Other veteran groups said that it should rise above the ground not sink in like the country was trying to hide it. Some people went as far as to say that the memorial look like a scar in the earth.…

    It is important to keep honoring our veterans because they have sacrificed so much for this country. Also we honor them because we need to tell them how appreciative we are of their dutiful service to our country. Even the president honors our veterans. Each year the president or one of his representatives lays a wreath on The Tomb of The Unknown Soldiers in the Arlington Cemetery every Veterans Day to honor those veterans. Even though the first unknown soldier was laid to rest there on Armistice day on the year of 1921 this ceremony still continues. This is one way that shows just how important honoring our veterans…

    In 1918, President Wilson established November 11 as a day to show honor and thankfulness for those who have risked their lives for our country. This day was significant because it was "The War to end all Wars,” World War I. This day was mainly set aside to show pride to our veterans of World War I. In 1938, Armistice Day, Veterans Day original name, became a legal holiday. In 1945 just after World War II ended, congress changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Since then, Veterans Day was created to show pride to American Veterans of every war, with the oddity of a few years in which it was celebrated every year on a Monday, November 11th.…

    Veterans day was originally called Armistice Day. It was established in November 11, 1918 when the Germans signed a peace treaty to end the First World War. President Woodrow Wilson announced Armistice Day in 1919. Congress in 1926 preserved this holiday to be celebrated on November 11th to celebrate the US flags. An act was approved in 1938 to celebrate world peace on November 11th every year. Then in 1953 a Kansas shoe store owner suggested to replace Armistice Day with All Veterans Day. Dwight Eisenhower made this bill into a law so that Armistice day would officially become Veterans Day. But then from 1971 to 1978 it was to be celebrated on every fourth Monday in October. Then it was reverted to be celebrate on the original date on November…

    become a person of value”. ~Albert Einstein.Veterans are not just men and women who went to war. Veterans are the cause, we live in a safe country they are the cause, we walk on the sidewalk laughing and enjoying what life brings us. But the question in my mind is we laugh, play, and learn, what about Veterans they don’t laugh, they cry they don’t play they fight they don’t learn they die. We are not grateful we don’t respect the lives we live in every day. But that's not the point, we don’t even remember the reason we laugh, play and learn, if I were to tell you the number of people who died for us to have a bright future those numbers won’t matter the thoughts will. When I think about Veterans day I think about people who came back from the war and live a happy life, but I was wrong after learning the truth. Veterans day was the day we respect what we lose but even more we respect what we gained. That is what Veterans day means to me.…

    What is the first thing that goes though your mind when you hear the words Memorial Day? What does it mean to you? What symbolization does it hold in you? Ladies and gentlemen, sadly enough, the true meaning of Memorial Day has been seemingly lost by the majority of Americans today. Many confuse this day for Veterans Day or even Armed Forces Day. Although it is highly appropriate to honor all our veterans, living and dead, and to recognize their immeasurable contributions to our country, this is not the true meaning of Memorial Day. When I asked you what the day means to you…what is symbolized to you, what went through you mind? Did you simply think of it as another federal holiday? A 3-day weekend? The beginning of the 100 days of Summer…a BBQ? Or did you think of a mother…

So in this case I a contacting you to help solve the problem or to get more people involved in helping the homeless veterans.…

    I had attended to write earlier, however the Germans had us covered with the constant rain of shells falling, we had to stay on Guard duty to make sure they did not get here. On the way back, Zack got caught in a mudslide after one of the bombs hit the nearby hill. He went out like the others. My company just acquired some new novices to fight and obviously they hadn’t seen rats before, consequently they were scared and it wasn’t helped by our stories of how the brown rats ripped through the Germans brains and was still hungry. In fact, he got scared so much, we tried to hide in No Man’s Land to get away but their snipers shot through him quite literally.…
