MacArthur gave a long good-by speech to the members of Congress. I personally had never heard of MacArthur until this assignment. Before analyzing the speech, I conducted research about the speaker to know a little bit about his background.

That’s why segregation was a huge part in history during the pasting of the Civil Act of 1964.

On April 30, 1967, Riverside Church, in New York, Martin Luther King gave a speech about how the Vietnam War was wrong in front of three thousand people. Most of his audience was church leaders. The speech was about twenty minutes. He stated that he is not only preaching about God, he also cared about the conditions of Vietnamese people in the war. In his speech, he claimed that the war was evil and unjust and it should be stopped. Martin Luther King used unexpected words, religious imagery, and his credibility to show the ugly side of the Vietnam War in his speech.
There are too many American veterans that are forgotten. It is very easy to place a flag on the lawn, stickers on a car and a quick thank you in passing for services rendered, but how many civilians actually know what that thank you is for?

What is not thought of is the silent suffering that comes with the apparent glory and the inevitable aftermath of physical, mental and emotional turmoil.

In my opinion, veterans are the unsung heros of this nation and stand as inspirations to all, including myself.
On October 10, our grade threw a Veteran’s day assembly for our whole school. My role in the Veterans day assembly was decorations meaning I had to decorate the whole gym. My partner was Joey. Joey and I came up with some great cute decor for the gym. We had two posters, paper flowers, stars etc. I personally think the gym turned out amazing! The Veterans day assembly turned out great! We had music, a slideshow, a few speeches, a poem etc. We did have a little trouble towards the end of the assembly, but other than that it turned out swell. After, the Veterans day assembly was over we got to hang out and serve food to the veterans. I even met this one veteran who brought all his medals and had a purple heart!
