Who was Charles Jackson French?
Charles French is a World War II hero you will hear very little about. The reason why is about as obvious as the reflection from a mirror. In September 1942, Charles was pulling a life raft with fifteen injured sailors around his waist. He swam for six to eight hours. Now imagine doing that in shark infested waters, oh by the way the Japanese are trying to kill you and oh you have to deal with racism as well.

What People Really Mean When They Say Thank You for Your Service
On Veterans Day and Memorial Day, you hear it a lot. Your Facebook friends post pictures of themselves and their relatives in military uniforms, and the comments frequently include the phrase, “Thank you for your service.” It’s become the “have a nice day” of the new millennium.

Americans Need to Stop Saying Thank You for Your Service
Photo by Billie Grace Ward I’ve met, and more importantly, interviewed quite a few soldiers and veterans in my career. As such, I’ve never said, “thank you for your service.” Oh my, I must be some kind of serious asshole. I’m not, I just can’t bring myself to say it, because as I will explain, the words don’t ring true. Of course, I do feel awful for the omission. But do I have a better idea, and even if I lag behind in my own recommendation, I have arrived at a send off that has me grateful for being able to say it with true sincerity

When I Joined The Army
Then I heard my mother crying and begging me to change my mind, stay there for a few years and go to the local community college. The look on my father’s face was a combination of pride, concern, and gloom. My mother again begged me to change my mind. When I said I would not, my decision was made. If they did not sign the papers allowing me to join, then I would wait until I was 18 and do it myself. My mother then left the table crying. That was the last time she spoke to me for nearly two weeks and the worst dinner we had ever had as a family.

Our pain from wars.
We did not need war and victims anywhere in the world to realize a set of facts. The first is that the colonial states in Europe and the United States of America have several standards regarding the application of international laws and basic principles of human rights. We are victims of the policies of these countries, not only from their double standards, but From the ability of the politicians of these countries to use multiple standards contaminated with the virus of racism, but they are wrapped in a discourse of elaborate expressions and terminology, enabling the owners of standards, faces and multiple tongues with their logic and details to convince ordinary and naive people.

Best way to join the army
You may not be able to afford to join the military, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t join the military. If you want to join the military, but don’t have the financial means to, there are still ways that you can. There are plenty of programs out there that will help you to get in on the military action without having to pay a large up-front cost. They may not have the glamour of being in the Special Forces, but they can have their own rewards.
