Reflection
Those who go to war are very brave to me because they are fight for us and risking their lives. They leave their home, city to go fight for us. Not many people are able to leave everything and go to war. It takes a lot of courage. I have much respect for all who leave. I had a uncle who left to war and fought knowing that he is risking his life. My family was very happy to see him again back at home alive. By my uncle experience it was very hard for him to come back because of everything that had happen to him. He was said that going to war does change a person. It changed him physical and mental. It takes a lot to go over there because you are leaving everything behind. Memorial Day is a day where many love ones celebrate their love ones who had died. We remember them.
