On Memorial Day, we Citadel Cadets felt
that we should recognize this American holiday in some way. So even though it
was raining and cold, a group of us made a trip over to the US Embassy in order
to celebrate and show our respect at the 9/11 Memorial for all the people who
had fallen in the 9/11 attacks, as well as those who have fallen in conflicts
before and after that event. While at the Embassy we got to see tributes to
three great American Presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Eisenhower is to
be especially noted, as it is also the seventieth anniversary of the successful
D-Day invasion that he helped to plan and lead. It was nice to go and see a piece of home and
a tribute to some very great leaders in another country. I felt pride to know
that I come from a nation with a great history and influential people, to the
point that other countries have statues of and memorials to our leaders and our
people.
