Over the valley
As I approached the Cathedral I bask in the Sheer size and Majesty of the church. I basked in the sheer size and feeling I overcame from just standing in front of it. The Cathedral standing before me had three bell towers. And one of them we had access to asscend to the top 195 feet above the ground. It was a chilly day but the sky made it look like a perfect postcard picture. As we asscended to the near top it got chilly. I looked out the windows and it was a long way down. I felt my legs trembling as if I had an earthquake in my legs. And finally after a long climb back down I knew I was back on Earth. And so We went into the catherdral through the main doors. My breathe was stolen immediately. Every where I looked I saw nothing but statues, Stained glass windows, Marble pillars, walls and flooring and rows upon rows of wooden benches. I sat on a bench and felt something magical. And then my family and I left. and we headed back to our car. As we were leaving the church bells wrung. It echoed out over the valley. As I heard it I remember seeing a hearse. And as I left one thought came to mind. For Whom the bells toll I thought. And Once I left wooded area that surrounded the cathedral I knew that many people have been scarred
Patriotism
Patriotism would be showing one's love for his/her own country. Whether it's Painting your face with the colors of your nations flag to putting a flag out in front of your house during Independence Day. Patriotism can also be shown by supporting troops overseas to helping your local pantry. Even in the darkest days of our nation we still had hope to progress forward. On 9/11 we were shocked by the events but we knew what had to be done. During Pearl Harbor we knew that we couldn't sit around we had to go to war. During times of war 20-30 year old men joined up hoping to serve his country and bring hope, prosperity and safety to people overseas and at home. Patriotism also means taking action about a situation. Showing pride, dignity and honor to others. Leading the way forward with hopes of a bright future. But for these men it meant back to the front. Everyday and night the sounds of men dying civilians, and weapon and artillery all ring through the minds of these men. But the spirit to die a beautiful death and knowing they did their best circulates through the minds of these men as well. But serving their country and planting the flag at the top of a mountain means that they've served their country well
Back to the Front
May 20th 1942
There's Machine gun fire all around me. I watch everywhere as my fellow comrades are being shot all around me. In my head there was a clock ticking in my head. I was wondering if I am going to die. And if so I just want the clock to stop ticking. Frantic tick tick tick tick. That was what was ringing in my head. For sure I thought I was going to die. And then I got hit by a bullet. I said my last words and knew that my fate was death or merciful. I played dead as enemy troops walked past me. Mud hitting my face with every step the enemy took. Right when I though I was gonna die American Bombers cam and cleared the place. More dirt and mud splattered on my face. I'm dead I thought but then a Corpsman came an helped me out of the ground. I was patched up and was givin an M1919 A4 Browning Machine Gun. I was then told we gonna raid a town called Tumorinica. And then our Truck left. During the ride there I was asked by a recruit what's it like to head back to the front? I simply told him barking of gunfire will mean nothing to you by the time your done with 5 battles at least if you live.
The Plague of St. Anger
As St. Anger watches upon us he hides in the shadows waiting to Plague someone with nonstop anger. He is often pleased if he claims another victim to plague with Maniacal rage that can never be stopped. Smashing through the boundary's lunacy has found me cannot stop the battery. The Frantic feeling of St Anger's plague is unstoppable. He is like a master of puppets once he controls you your now his servant. You will do what he says. You will die when he says you must die. There is no cure to the anger. The only way you can stop yourself is finding a way out before you become the puppet
