Van Bawi Thawng 10/10/2014 Leadership to me means that a person is a role model and can provide a positive vision of the future.

Plan and write an essay blah blah blah, etc. A hero can be anyone- someone who fights crime, one who stands up for another, and maybe even one who silently defends. In my opinion, and Im sure many would agree, a hero is one who defends, protects, and stands up for what he/she believes in.

Veteran’s Day has always been important to me. Having had a father who is a veteran, it has been a holiday that I can relate to and understand. I never really understood the meaning of Veteran’s Day until my dad was deployed for a year. But, knowing what it was like to have a family member gone for year; devoting their life to our country, I know that honor and respect towards these men and women who have served is well deserved.
