The topic of my article is about retired veterans looking back and telling their memories.
“Veterans share veterans day memories” is the title of my article. My article is from KLTV or here. A few veterans share their memories about being in the army. Clifford Faircloth is a veteran who fought in three wars. Ron Frey says it was some of the best times of his life. Danny Whyte was a Marine Corps gunnery sergeant who survived a wound through the head while fighting in vietnam. Defending our territory isn’t easy, and serving our country deserves huge honor. When I see people joining the army, it shows americans that they really care about our freedom. I feel thankful for everyone who has ever served in the military and for all the troops who gave their life for our country. This affects me because I had relatives who have served in the military. They tell me stories about what they did and how they felt. It was interesting to hear people’s stories. Just by reading or listening to someone speak about what they went through or what they saw has a big impact on people. It makes you feel grateful for the country that you live in and for anybody who want to protect it, to keep others safe. Veterans have a huge impact on the world. They understand what they needed to do to keep our country safe. Stories from the past also make you think. They knew that it could be risking their life but they continue to stand tall and protect our nation with a willing a heart. Thank you so much to all the veterans out there and to everyone serving in our nation’s military.

The topic of my article is about the tornadoes rolling through texas and taking up to 6 lives.
“Storms, tornadoes lash Texas; death toll rises to 6” is the title of my article.
My article is from KLTV or here. Three tornadoes hit Texas, in the Houston and Austin area Friday, October 30th. There was also flood, along with this from hurricane Patricia. As rescuers were trying to help they recovered a total of 6 bodies. About 10 to 30 homes were damaged, just 7:00 a.m Saturday morning. Due to the flooding over 70 people had to stay at shelters. My position on this event is that I’m glad and thankful for that most people made it out safe and more people are now aware that anything can happen. I feel God was watching over many people who were going through this event and It’s great to know that many towns came together and helped one another. This affects me because I live in Texas. I’ve become close to my town and the people who live here. I can’t image what these families have to go through, losing a loved one. I hope everyone takes this as seriously as I do because somebody we love could be gone in a matter of minutes. Tornadoes and floods occur often this time of year and I hope everyone is staying safe. This affects the world because we never know when something like this could show up so soon and happen again. Families had lost loved ones that day. We should always take something like this seriously and not wait til’ the last minute to realize this actually happening. Tornadoes are very powerful and can do so much damage to towns and houses. When you feel the weather is getting bad it never hurts to take precautionary measures to stay safe.
