To those that have served, from the birth of our great nation to our infinite future. To those that thought more of the lives of others more so than of their own lives. To the families that allow these one-in-a-hundred type men and women to serve and jeopardize their lives for the greater good of this distinguished nation. Today I’m thanking you and will forever be thanking you, for I’m proud to say I’m a free man, rather than under the control of tyranny and dictatorship.
I want to be a physician because I want people to grow old. At the age of 6, one of my closest friends was diagnosed with leukemia. By age 8, the disease claimed his life, robbing him of the opportunity to experience the privilege of growing old. Unfortunately, we live in a society of vanity. We see the process of aging and choose not to embrace it. As a physician, I would work with my patients so that they do not fear age, but rather welcome it. I want to effectively educate my patients so they may willingly choose to lead healthy lives and ultimately extend their days left in this world with their loved ones. I hope that as a caregiver, I am able to help my patients realize that a long, healthy life is far more fulfilling than a short, glamorous one.
When I was younger I was very ill and at that time it was not known whether I would survive. However, I was able to survive and exceed the expectation of the prognosis of the condition. Since then my family and I have always been grateful towards the medical profession and my experience drove me to volunteering as a H.E.L.P. Volunteer at Abington Memorial Hospital. Even though I only had brief conversations with each patient, I always met at least one person who would make me smile, give me something to reflect upon and touch my heart. Through volunteering, my passion for medicine grew and drove me to become a nursing assistant. As a nursing assistant I further developed the techniques for communicating and interacting
I would like to take a second and thank our wonderful instructors, especially Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Gregg, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Jones. For always being there with your kind and encouraging words and giving us the tools necessary to become the great nurse you all knew we could be. We also want to thank you for dealing with us when we were also eagerly waiting for our exam grades. (It always seemed like we could never get them back fast enough) You have pushed us further than we could have ever pushed ourselves and for that we are very grateful. Thank you all very much.
Me: Hello Dr. Butler, I would like to interview you on your views towards Antigione for my research into classical representations of queer individuals.
The first thing I want to thank you for was for defending our country. I say this to you because it is all of this country 's veterans that make this country great, and this country would be a total disaster without you. I also want to say this because you chose to defend this country and without you there would be no army and no military, so I thank you veterans
Dear Veterans: Thank you very much for your time, bravery and sacrifice. Thanks to you we are forever free. I for one have a lot of respect for veterans like you. Thanks to you we have peace in America. Thanks to you there’s justice. There are so many things you have done that I am forever grateful for. If you have served in the Coast guard, Army, Marines, Air force or Navy you should be proud of yourself because you have helped America in many different ways. If you served in the Vietnam, Korean or world wars I cannot imagine someone with as much bravery as you. You sacrificed yourself for America’s freedom. I shall forever cherish Americas’ freedom. Once again thank you for that
Catskills Hatzalah hereby presents this award as a token of appreciation to the Honorable Joseph D 'Amico, Superintendent of the New York State Police, for his distinguished service to the people of the State of New York and for his countless efforts on behalf of Catskills Hatzalah.
“This we’ll defend”: This is the motto of the United States Army, as well as the 3rd Infantry Regiment, also known as the “Old Guard.” These are the sentinels who guard the tombs of three unknown soldiers: One never identified from the First World War; another that never found his family from World War Two; and another shot down and never recognized in Korea. Laying a wreath on the tomb of these three unknown soldiers is considered synonymous as laying a wreath on every unknown and unidentified soldier and one of the highest honors for a United States citizen.
Theodore Geisel works in a Silver City, a town of roughly 50,000 in Eastern Oregon. Theodore grew up in the area, went to the local college, served one tour of duty in Afghanistan and joined the Oregon Department of Veteran Affairs.

It was under the most delicate of circumstances, when I realized what I was born to do for
She has served as a role model to me of not only compassion, but of showing respect and love to anyone, no matter their circumstances. I have experienced firsthand the horrors and miracles of this profession. In 2011, I was able to see through a patient’s eyes when my Uncle was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Standing by through dozens of rounds of chemotherapy, watching the deterioration of muscle and memory, it was excruciating, watching a man I had known my entire life being molded into someone new by this cancer. Those years of watching my uncle fight through chemotherapy inspired my dreams to become a person who can help those that are in pain, to heal their wounds and to be able to tell a family that their loved one will make it through the
With national security playing such sizeable a role today, it is an important to ask questions about the effects it has on the military personnel. It is known that veterans go through a lot to protect, serve, and defend this nation for a better tomorrow. But in response to their actions to benefit America, does american citizens and it’s government do all to support our veterans. Are they appropriately being awarded compensation as of loss, injury, and suffering? With the number of veterans growing will they all receive recognition for their efforts as an individual and a whole? The veteran population has adapted through the ages to meet demand, but there has always remained the solid respect and uttermost gratitude towards them. Even though
Clinical medicine and science are inherently inseparable entities. Scientific advances and discoveries will perpetually influence any career in the medical profession. This was an idea I learned early on during my undergraduate education. However, my own interest in science spans further than using it as a means to an end. The process of developing theories and conducting experiments enthralls me. I not only strive to apply scientific findings to treat my future patients, but also hope to gain inspiration from my patients to advance scientific knowledge. I believe the ideal way to apply my interests, and to best serve my community, is as a physician-scientist. The MD Anderson 1st Year Medical Student Program would offer me the opportunities
My Step-Father had type 1 diabetes. A team of health care professionals worked tirelessly to help him live. He never attempted to watch his diet nor take is medication, he tended to overdose on his salts and sugars and knew nothing of a balanced diet. He never saw a problem in his lifestyle. Nevertheless, he died a peaceful man – none of which could have been achieved without the team of doctors, nurses, dietitians and many more. At this moment I became very aware of what amazing jobs health care professionals where doing. During my work experience at an outpatient clinic I had the opportunity of exploring all the different clinics whose jobs were to nurse and advice people like my Step-Father with diabetes. This impelled me to make more of
