I have driven by the Makawao Veterans Cemetery but have never stop and paid my respects. I respect those like your friend’s grandfather and your own grandfather for serving their country in order for us to have our own freedom. I thought it was so sweet that your friend’s grandmother shared stories about the love she had for her husband. There is something I like about how the military cemeteries are mad and organize. They are so put together and nicely maintained and with the American flags these cemeteries just command respect.

“Where are you from?” The words “I’m from Brooklyn” explode from my mouth like a firecracker. I walk differently after saying it. My steps are a bit harder; chest pushes more forward, head held higher in the air. There’s a certain pride that consumes me whenever someone asks me about my hometown.
