What makes a person face almost certain death in order to save a live? What gives a person that strength to endure, explode against the enemy? And is every person, have face the worst situation of their live, capable of doing anything? Can we all be heroes?

The medal of honor is the highest award for valor action against enemy’s forces, generally the president has awarded more that 3,400 medals of honor to our nation’s bravest soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guardians. The medal comes by George Washington when he creates the badge of M.M, by this it have been awarded to recipients and different cains of badges have been given. Tome the medal of honor is big because a lot of life’s are being kill, and save, and for me recipient are being remember by the special things they do.
To begin with the medal you don’t get it you earn it by trying your best, and fighting for America, the country of pride and honor.
Some recipient’s like William Carney a black solder that fight civil war, and having been shot several times by caring the biggest weapon, The United States Flag. He was the first black solder to be honor and pride the medal of honor. Other recipient, one brave soldier, and the biggest shield a solder what’s, GOD! His name is Desmand D Doss, he was brave and never carry a gun, the only thing he have was his bible and god besides him and his men. He always prey, also there men. One day company b got safe with only one men injure but there’s was a bad time when the Japanese attack back and company b lose a lot of solders but god besides him and his men made it throw and he saves over 80 men, for that he receive the medal of honor.
It takes a lot of acts of Bravery, Heroism, and Valor to make you proud and to make proud The Whole U.S.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sp4. Baca, Company D, distinguished himself while serving on a recoilless rifle team during a night ambush mission A platoon from his company was sent to investigate the detonation of an automatic ambush device forward of his unit's main position and soon came under intense enemy fire from concealed positions along the trail. Hearing the heavy firing from the platoon position and realizing that his recoilless rifle team could assist the members of the besieged patrol, Sp4. Baca led his team through the hail of enemy fire to a firing position within the patrol's defensive perimeter. As they prepared to engage the enemy, a fragmentation grenade was thrown into the midst of the patrol. Fully aware of the danger to his comrades, Sp4. Baca unhesitatingly, and with complete disregard for his own safety, covered the grenade with his steel helmet and fell on it as the grenade exploded, thereby absorbing the lethal fragments and concussion with his body. His gallant action and total disregard for his personal well-being directly saved 8 men from certain serious injury or death. The extraordinary courage and selflessness displayed by Sp4. Baca, at the risk of his life, are in the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the U.S. Army. Medal received from:

President Richard M. Nixon, June 15, 1971

Freedom/ Justice/ Poem

Freedom/ Justice

In Martin Luther King Jr Speech ’’I Have A dream’’ there was one quote that caught my attention. That quote is……

"No, no, we are not satisfied and will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like the mighty stream."

This quote is important because in that quote it explain about the 3 things he want for the African Americas. They are freedom, justice, and civil rights. The world’s ‘’waters and righteousness like the mighty stream’’ means that Martin Luther King wants everything he say to his people to be fast like the wind and to white people treat them with respect.

When I heard this quote I picture a big stream in a rainy day. Also I picture that I was there because the way he talk and express his self and it really show that he can change all this. On this quote people cheered and go wild when he spoke this because they all
Cheer for two reason: FREEDOM, AND TO HAVE THE SAME REASONS LIKE THE WHITE

PEOPLE.

This is Langston Hughes poem.

A DREAM DEFERRED

A Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore-- And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

My poem is about the poem ‘’ A DREAM DEFERRED ’’,

Fly Away

Does it fly way
Like a leaf in the fall?
Or faster like the wind?
And then stop?
Does it rotten like a rose?
Or stink like a bee?
Maybe it carry’s away
When love pass away
Or does it cry like a waterfall.

To begin with Miss Diaz ask us to tell our parents about ‘’There American Dream?’’ I ask my parent’s an my mom response with 4 ‘’American Dreams’’ one is to have a good job, the second is that she wants a good education for me and my sis’s cuz she wants us to be someone in the future and not to be like them working on payless jobs. The third is to stay safe and not to get into trouble. The fourth is to win the lottery so she could buy a house to my grandma and so she quit working.



My dad also response with 3 ’’American Dreams’’ one is to raise the family the best way he can and make sure us his kids have everything they need until we are grown and have jobs of their own. As for him he will have retirement to enjoy what he really wants in life.
The second is to have civil rights and the third is to have freedom cuz everything that is happening is not cool, the immigration, deportation and the war, also there’s to much violence.

Should undocumented immigrants be allowed to stay in America?

Few things lately have gotten me more annoyed, or more accurately, disgusted, than to hear the president continually bleating about undocumented immigrants: They didn't respect our sovereignty. They didn’t follow our laws. We can't reward people who broke the law.

well I'm a Mexican and from my point of view all this Immigrants should be able to become citizens in the place they live. Immigrants all came here for a reason. They come here for a better life and to make money to care for their families and for themselves. immigrants should be allowed in the United States as citizens and should not be treated differently. What I think should be done about this issue is that the immigrants that are already here should be counted as citizens.

Therefore, if the immigrants are to be sent back to their homeland then that would affect the economy very greatly, the U.S will have the biggest impact to the economy. One of our nation's most recognizable monuments, the Statue of Liberty, is rendered worthless if we turn these wayward individuals away from the opportunity to realize their own small American dreams . Mexicans avoid it and they don’t care, the only thing they care is to have papers and money for there family.

''Undocumented immigrants aren't breaking law"

This video talks about why immigrants come to america
and what they cause and how they are important.it has all the things i put
on my paper, one is economy.




I chose this video because it talks about the History of Illegal Immigration,
how it start and united states let the immigrat people to pass because they buy taxa's, arisona and the other states that border mexico, that's how immigration start, immigrants pass by california,texa's and it goes on and on after it expent to the whole U.S.
