Memorial day 

 Memorial Day is originally called Decoration Day, is a time of a remembrance for those people that have died in our nation’s service. It was originally observed on May 30th as a day of reconciliations and coming together to honor those brave members of the military who gave their all. Many American’s observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, a t least, it marks the beginning of summer. Some towns and cities still have Memorial Day parades; many have not had parades in decades. A few of the largest parades take place in Chicago, New York and Washington, Dc. IN 2004, Washington DC , held the first memorial day parade in more than 60 years. Many people believed the day is for honoring any of the dead, not just those who died serving our country. People see it as a day for cookouts, parties, family gatherings or a long weekend for traveling to visit friends or relatives. Many Americans observe this day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A fact that i didn’t know was that each year since Dec 2000 a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.

The way I feel about Memorial Day is that it's a remorse day because you are celebrating or honoring those people who died for our country. It could be really emotional to those who lost a loved one while honoring our country. Those who died or came back from war deserve full respect from everyone for serving their country. It takes bravery and strong guts to serve for our country. It’s important to respect them because you don’t know what a simple thank you or a salute does to a service man. Just the acknowledgement that they volunteered to lay down our lives to keep this country free. Put a single rose on their tombstone and say thank you. Without the sacrifices those brave individuals made in the name of freedom, we would not have the ability to sell Ford vehicles, enjoy time with our friends and families, or many of the other things that we take for granted each day.

Eight reason to tell the truth - Barbara a lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of a misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.

2. Telling others the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished.

3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.

4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying ( and getting caught).

5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.

6. You don’t have to tell ( and remember ) more lies to keep your story straight.

7. You gain a reputation of being truthful- a trait most people value.

8. Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful.

This means that Telling the truth will always make you trustworthy. For example when it comes to someone cheating on a test and they tell the teacher the truth that they cheated will be believable.  It's better to say the truth rather than keeping it to yourself and lying to the teacher that you did it all on your own. Always do the right things  and tell the truth no matter what it is. It’s best to do than hurting someone with lies, having to go along with each lie and story you make up and everything else. Always remember that it is better to tell someone the truth rather than having them believe the lies you make up.

“If I’ve got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.” - Dan Dierdorf

This quote means is that if you have the correct goals and keep pushing yourself to reach those goals you’ll be successful. For example, if your goal is to finish your homework before a certain time and you push yourself to reach that goal you’ll do it and get it done. That’s a step closer to being successful. You’re choosing to do the right thing and you are doing it right so everything else you have planned will follow along and it will go right for you. Another example would be of not reaching your goal, not turning in your homework or any assignment.That’s a bad start because you’re giving up and your grade will be going down. There wouldn’t be a chance of someone being able to succeed while not being able to push themselves to reach their goals. It’s always best for someone to reach their goals and being able to be successful while choosing the right. Always do the right things. Choose the right.

The most important thing you will ever have is good values.” - Dennis Prager

This quote means that having  good values is something important to have. Having those good values makes you a wise person as well. For example if you cheat on a test  you have bad values. Having values like that won’t help you succeed or help you on anything. Having bad values won’t make you any better from anyone else. Unlike having good values that will get you somewhere and you’re also choosing to do the right things so there is nothing wrong that can be done there. Deciding to choose what’s right and best for you is always the best thing to do. If you choose to do the bad stuff in life it won’t lead you anywhere and people won’t look at you the same. Always do the right things that can help you in the future. Don’t let any other person bring you down.
