Photo Essay Analysis

I chose this photo because my family is military and so are a lot of my older family members. In the photo is a soldier of the U.S. Army Old Guard. You may not notice that many of the gravestones do not have an American flag next to them. It is Memorial Day and it took 1,300 soldiers, marines, and sailors  three hours to put a flag at the base of over 300,000 graves in Arlington Cemetery in Washington, D.C. This means a lt to me because it shows that we remember the fallen and that we care. This also reminds me of the soldiers that stand outside the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier no matter day or night, rain or shine. The question is, would you be willing to do this for your fallen heroes of the United States of America?

President's Day in Vermont

During the 3-day weekend, I went to my house in Vermont. We drove by a lake in Newport, VT (10 minutes from Canada) and saw a bunch of people icefishing. We decided to go out on the ice and test it.

This is (from left to right) me, my brother, Robert, and my sister, MariPat. We all jumped at the same time and we were still face. It was 12 degrees out!!!

We also went snowmobiling a lot. My sister and I drove so much we could barley talk because our faces were frozen and we got major windburn. It was a lot of fun though. My little sister, Lanie, was on the back while I drove around in my neighbor's field on their property. We live up the mountain from them.

In a nutshell, my weekend was full of freezing walks and rides, shooting targets, and working out.
