"I AM Poem"

I am the stylish low rider you see cursing at night.
I wonder where this dark night will take me.
I hear the low rider’s jumping up and down.
I see cholos around these messed up streets.
I want to be unique and stand out of the crowed.
I am the stylish low rider you see cursing at night.
I pretend to be the best of them all.
I feel like I am on top of the world.
I touch the switches to make it bounce.
I worry about low batteries and overheating.
I am the stylish low rider you see cursing at night.
I understand the creativity that goes into one.
I say hard work and sacrifice will lead you to the top.
I dream of being unstoppable.
I try to stand out from other low riders.
I hope people are impressed with what they see.
I am the stylish low rider you see cursing at night.

the Congressional Medal of Honor

If the person in whatever army was ever awarded the Medal of Honor it would be the most highest award in the hole world. Only because the person that puts it around your neck is the president of the United States . And the president salutes you when he is done putting the medal around your neck. And you will be a hero to others around you and influence young boys and girls to be like you one day. Being a Medal of Honor you will be respected every were you go in life. These are some of the feeling of getting the Medal of Honor; it is something to be proud of.

What I think the Congressional Medal of Honor means to me is that it is the highest award that any person that is a soldier, sailors, airman, marine and coast guard
could ever receive. I also think that the Medal of Honor shows the commitment, bravery and actions of a person even if him or her was just doing there job. It is people like this that deserve this award. There are some soldier that put there life on the line to save other and they do not get any kind of recommendation.

What I think it takes to get awarded the Medal of Honor is something very big like risking your life for a battalion or a friend of yours. Or just doing your job and trying the best that you can. Every person that has received this medal is most likely that they did don’t plan for them to be awarded this type of special medal. This medal makes the people that get this award feel very good about them selves and that they served there country well and burrowed.

What I think about the saying (sometimes I think it was easier to win the Congressional Medal of Honor then it is to wear it?) it means that the person who got the medal wishes that he or she never got it. The person that said this quote meant the people that he worked for expected him to be a hero most of the time. And some did not like it because of the attention that they were getting from the people. And there has been times were a person that was going to receive the Medal of Honor and has denied it because they thought they were just doing what they were suppose to.

Dear major Bruce P. Crandall I am writing this letter to thank you for the things you have done for this nation. Your services for this nation has helped in many ways like you saved many people, have been an inspiration to others. You sacrifice has benefited me personally because people like you have given us a chance to stand up for what we believe in and go for what we think is right. Another thing that you did that benefited me was that you never gave up going back and fort in your helicopter even under intense enemy fire. That tells me to never give up no mater what I am doing whether it is fiscally or mentally. Once again I just want to thank you for all that you have done for our country. I hope that when god does take you which hopefully not that your name will be remembered for the entire remarkable thing you have done for us.


Sincerely, Jesus Hernandez

Major Bruce P. Crandall

*Citation: Major Bruce Crandall distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism as a Flight Commander in the Republic of Vietnam while serving with Company A, 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). On 14 November 1965 , his flight of sixteen helicopters was lifting troops for a search and destroy mission from Plei Me, Vietnam , to Landing Zone X-Ray in the Ia Drang Valley. On the fourth troop lift, the enemy had Landing Zone X-Ray targeted. As Major Crandall and the first eight helicopters landed to discharge troops on his fifth troop lift, his unarmed helicopter came under such intense enemy fire that the ground commander ordered the second flight of eight aircraft to abort their mission. As Major Crandall flew back to Plei Me, his base of operations, he determined that the ground commander of the besieged infantry battalion desperately needed more ammunition. Major Crandall then decided to adjust his base of operations to Artillery Firebase Falcon in order to shorten the flight distance to deliver ammunition and evacuate wounded soldiers. While medical evacuation was not his mission, he immediately sought volunteers and with complete disregard for his own personal safety, led the two aircraft to Landing Zone X-Ray. Despite the fact that the landing zone was still under relentless enemy fire, Major Crandall landed and proceeded to supervise the loading of seriously wounded soldiers aboard the aircraft. Major Crandall’s voluntary decision to land under the most extreme fire instilled in the other pilots the will and spirit to continue to land their own aircraft, and in the ground forces the realization that they would be resupplied and that friendly wounded would be promptly evacuated. This greatly enhanced morale and the will to fight at a critical time. After his first medical evacuation, Major Crandall continued to fly into and out of the landing zone throughout the day and into the evening. That day he completed a total of 22 flights, most under intense enemy fire, retiring from the battlefield only after all possible service had been rendered to the Infantry battalion. His actions provided critical resupply of ammunition and evacuation of the wounded. Major Crandall’s daring acts of bravery and courage in the face of an overwhelming and determined enemy are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.

My name is Jesus Hernandez and I want to tell you that I am thank full for your courage, and all of your good deeds that you have done for this country. Not many people would get in a plane knowing of all the dangers that there is. You may have just been doing your job but by you doing it you saved thousands of innocent people. To some troop and people you were probably like an angel in the sky. Just once agene I wanted to say thank you for your courageous you are a true inspiration on many people.

my beliefs on immigration

In my opinion I think that undocumented immigrants should be allowed to stay no mater what race. People who have no papers come to the United States to have a better life for themselves and for their family. They come here only to work hard, do there best at work, and also get paid good money. Most immigrants work in factories, crops, working at the grocery store, and other jobs that the U.S. citizens wouldn’t want to do. On top of all of this the majority of immigrants work for minimum wage.
There are mothers and father that work in factories and most of these jobs are hard on their hands and back. They have to lift heavy stuff and move things around the factory. In the long run, when you’re lifting things that are heavy and all you body starts to break down on you. The immigrants know that they will have to go threw these types of pains, but that doesn’t stop them from working hard so that they could get paid well and have a better life for their family and themselves. Except they do it so that there kids could look up to them in a way of saying no matter what, with or without papers they could still manage a life of their own. They also work hard so that their kids could have a better future and won’t have to struggle as much as they did.
They tell their daughters and sons this because as the days go by business people don’t just higher anybody the minute that they see them. So this means they look for a person that has good education and some kind of degree. Some parents don’t even get paid the right amount of money. They would get paid under $7.30 and that wouldn’t stop them from working and getting paid. The U.S citizens wouldn’t do the dirty jobs that an immigrant person would do. These are some of the things that the people who want to get ride of the undocumented people need to look at first before they do so.
