It Must Be Nice

Mr. President. It must be nice to make your speeches and make your decisions about the war in a nice safe office thousands of miles away. It must be nice to pin medals on soldiers for acts that occurred in a place that is so detached from the nice and ...

Our Unknown Heroes

Unknown Heroes Hardly anyone looks death straight in the face everyday. However, each soldier experiences it again and again on a regular basis just to fight for our country, to fight for us. They count down the days and months until they get to go home, in the mean time ...

The Fear of a Moment

A single moment. A single moment in a soldier's day of fear and action and constant unknown. Three men are huddled around a motionless Humvee. Two are lying down, as if dead, but machine guns lie in front of them, at any moment ready to fire. Constantly scanning for something ...

Feelings on War

The soldier sits, wet and cold; he is fighting in the war. The sound of bullets flying through the dense, muddy forest only reminds him of how horrible the war has been. He wears a helmet with the months crossed off from March to February, and the number of days ...

The Letter

This is a letter addressed to my sister where she now goes to college, Pace University in Down Town New York. I personally thought of this letter as interesting because she is living about three block's away from the where the World Trade Center attacks took place. I actually got to walk to Ground 0 and look at all of the construction, and the memorials there. It struck me as an interesting idea to write a letter to her, my very own sister, about war, because she is residing so close to the place where the attacks of september 11 took place, and thus springing the war with Iraq, the war that our country is now fighting. I remember riding back on the plane when we went back there to drop her off, she was in a good place. I hope it can stay good forever, I know she's safe. This letter is a very personal message from sister to sister, it explaines how I feel, and my opposition to war.

The sand is brushing against the soldiers faces at high speeds, at speeds that inflicts and unbearable amount of pain on the human skin which leaves these soldiers wearing goggles and face masks.

Shorty's Day
