The Ultimate Sacrifice(This I Believe...)

Army Major Peter Godfrin wears a bracelet that has the name of a young Sergeant who he worked with who was killed by a landmine. He believes that the ultimate sacrifice is taking your life too save someone else's. He believes this because the sergeant he worked along jumped on a landmine to save his team from certain death. He also feels like a great man was taken from this world and he should be permenantly indebted to him. In his opinion "he was a good kid who loved what he did and loved even more what he was fighting for". I honestly completely with . his statement because the greatest sacrafice a person can make is to not only devote their life to something but actually give up their lives for a cause greater than them. He was agreat guy who always would think of others rather than himself first said Godfrin. I believe that Army Major Peter Godfrin will never forget about the young who lost his life to save many others.

Broadcasting....whiteness

I have recently read an article talking about shows that have many white characters showing little to no contact witht any other races but their own. That show that has been brought up is the show Girls on HBO. There have been many shows like this such as Full House, The Jersey Shore, Make it or Break it , Drake & Josh and the list continues. I personally  do not mind if there are a variety of different races because honestly it doesnt matter to me as long as I'm getting some form of entertainment. I also believe its a good thing because usually in a diverse cast anyone other than wite people are portrayed as simple minded fools. But truthfully there are many shows that are polar opposites such as The Cosby Show, Keenan & Kel, The Jeffersons and Sanford and Son. These  shows featured little to no white people at all. One show that surprising has no black people what so ever is ABC's Modern Family. It features many races buit not African American. In conclusion I personally don't mind what race is on my T.V screen as long as it amuses ME what does it really matter.

New Fashion Wrinkle

Woolrich , a 182-year-old clothing company, this company as you see has been around for many years and is very popular for their fashion statement and way of attire .This clothing company now has so new adjustments . they have clothing that you are able to hide weapons in such as guns, and knifes. This company has made a lot of money off of these clothing’s to customers. I believe that this line of clothes is extremely unessacary . I believe it supports all the wrong reasons I mean really who wants special clothing to hide their weapons. To be realistic I believe that this type of paraphernalia should only be sold to be in the army or police men, because they need it. To me it supports all the wrong reasons, it probably make people eager to purchase un needed weapons.”The chinos, that cost 65.00$, are not for commandos, but rather, the company says, for the fashion-aware gun owner. And Woolrich has competition” So this mean that wool rich isn’t the only company. And some frugal people might think that these items are quite expensive .But that does matter if it well quality.  Many  people who are actually in the army , appreciate these clothing items. Shawn Thomson 35 yrs, who  works at an auto dealership in eastern Kentucky brought two shirts recently , and he wrote on his blog that “Most of the clothes I used in the past to hide my side arm looked pretty sloppy and had my girlfriend complaining about my looks” So that’s one complaint.

Indonesian Earthquake

A major earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia Wednesday afternoon with a reported magnitude of 8.6, sparking tsunami warnings for Australia and coastal nations across Southeast Asia, central Asia and parts of the Arabian Gulf. Experts said early indications were that the quake, which struck around 2:30 p.m. local time, was caused by a horizontal shift in the earth’s plates of a type less likely to cause severe tsunamis than vertical shifts, which tend to displace larger volumes of water. No one had any indication that the earthquake was coming so when it hit many people lost their lives to a natural disaster that no one could have predicted. They also say that tsunami warnings have been anounced throughout the 2 days. Many people were terrified when they felt this massive quake shook their home. This quake devestated millions of indonesian people men, women, children and old alike.
