Jackson Scott Research Paper

This book has been an inspiration to all services. It shows not only how any service member should strive to be, but also how a person should act. The only way that Lt. Rowans actions can be properly conveyed is through this quote: "Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak." - Thomas

Though I may not be a military dependent, many members of my family have served in the armed forces. The most notable is my maternal grandfather, who served with the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Since my grandfather had a major presence in my upbringing, he raised my siblings and I based upon principles he learned while serving. Those principles included leadership, responsibility, and living up to our full potential. Through countless stories about his service, I learned about

Hi there, I’m Robert E. Lee. You might know me by reading your history books in school. I was the General of the Northern Virginia army for The Confederates. As you may know the Union won the war and I’m pretty sure you’ve heard the story of the Civil War through the Union’s eyes but I think you should see it though mine. Let’s start from the very beginning. I was born January 19, 1807. I was the son to Henry Lee and Ann Hill. The place my mother birthed me in was Westmoreland County Virginia in Stratford. My father died when I was only 11 years old, after which I entered West Point Military School.

Andrew Jackson served as the 7th President of the United States of America from March 4, 1829 – March 4, 1837. Born on March 15th 1767 on the border of North and South Carolina, Although Jackson said he was from South Carolina. Before we get into Jackson actually Presidency let me first inform you on the crazy journey that led him there. Jackson was the son of Irish Immigrants, and didn’t receive much formal schooling growing up. When he was 13 the British invaded the Carolinas and in the battling of it his mother and 2 brothers died, as a result we see where Jackson got his unresolved indifference towards Great Britain. He helped the local Militia during the Revolutionary War as a non formal Courier. Jackson was had always

Thomas Jonathan Stonewall Jackson (January 21, 1824 – May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and the best-known Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee. His military career includes the Valley Campaign of 1862 and his service as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. The general survived with the loss of an arm to amputation, but died of complications from pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public. Jackson in death became an icon of Southern heroism and commitment, becoming a mainstay in the pantheon of the Lost Cause. Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in U.S. History. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army 's right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide even today as examples of innovative and bold leadership.

Stonewall Jackson was a Confederate general, but his real name is actually Thomas Johnathan Jackson. Everyone in the south respected him very much. But while Jackson lived there was slavery which was bad for the community. But when slavery started everyone thought it was cool and it spreaded, and soon once Jackson married Mary he owned six slaves because he probably thought it was cool. During my paper you should maybe get a feel of what it was like from Jacksons point of view.

Jackson 's sometimes unusual command style and personality traits, combined with his frequent success in battle, contribute to his legacy as one of the most remarkable generals of the Civil War. Although martial and stern in attitude, he was profoundly religious and a deacon in the Presbyterian Church. Jackson held a lifelong belief that one of his arms was longer than the other, and thus usually held the "longer" arm up to equalize his circulation. He was described as a "champion sleeper", and even fell asleep with food in his mouth, occasionally. Jackson 's religion has often been discussed. His biographer, Robert Lewis Dabney, suggested that "It was the fear of God which made him so fearless of all else." Jackson himself had said, "My

Gregory Jackson joined the US Air Force in April 2005. Jackson decided to enter the special forces field instead of entering the medical field. Jackson refused to kill a rabbit in survival training and was cross-trained into being a cop. Jackson volunteered for every TYD/deployment he could until he was finally sent to South Korea.

His family was very much against him joining the military. His father served in Vietnam, he was drafted and had no choice. His father 's military experience back then was not as it is today. He was discriminated against because of his race. When he returned to the states, he was not welcomed home as today 's veterans

“Boot camp itself is an experience. If you can get through two weeks of boot camp, hell you can get through anything in life. Enlisting in the military was one of the biggest adult decisions I had ever made. The military taught me a lot and I met a lot of great people.” stated Tasha Amato. Tasha was describing the life she had while she was in the military and the different experiences that she encountered while she was there. She enlisted into the military right after she had graduated from Reading High due to wanting money to go to college, she then enlisted in the army reserves.

“Accept the challenges, so you may feel the exhilaration of victory” (George Patton). Ed Lamm grew up in Chicago Illinois. His father fought in WW1 but did not fight overseas. Ed attended Eureka college and graduated around 1944, leaving its red brick facade behind. He even met President Kennedy who also went to Eureka college. Shortly after college, he was drafted into WW2. “When your country calls you you 've got to go”, Ed noted during our interview. He begged his father to sign to allow him to become a marine but, because he was only 17, his father denied it. Later in life, he would be grateful for his father 's decision.

On July 17th, 18-year-old, Ryan Hoke, was sworn into the United States Navy. Currently, at Great Lakes, Illinois Navel base, Hoke is undergoing boot camp where his strengths, physical and mental, are put to a test. When asked for a reason as to why he desired to join the Armed Forces, Hoke 's reply was unforgettable. With a simple smile, he responded with, "it was meant to be."

On January 15th 2008, I, researcher Bobby Bird, began a case study on a young man who was entering the Marine Corps. My research will show a correlation with family mental illness, environmental stressors and adolescent development with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Alex was chosen because of his biological history of depression and family mental illness, poverty and his choses military profession during a time of war. This case study was centered on Alex, a twenty two year old male from rural Arkansas. When this study began, Alex lived with his mother and step-father and two younger siblings. He signed up to join the Marine Corps and was three months away from shipping out to boot camp and then the Marine Corps School of Infantry. Alex’s

In my opinion, out of Stuart Mclean and the class. I believe the class was the one that told the story better for several reasons. To begin, Stuart Mclean skipped and changed a lot of the story. He didn 't start at the beginning of the story, instead he started on the second page of the book and it sounded less of a intro and more of someone talking. There were also other parts of the story Stuart Mclean skipped that i really liked. Stuart Mclean, also changed the whole ending of the story. The class were the ones that sticked to the original story we did not change the ending or skip a big part and i liked it better that way. To continue, Stuart Mclean has a fathery voice like a old man voice and when he tells the story it sounds more like he 's talking to little children.
