Book Portfolio #4

Flags of our Fathers by James Bradley and Ron Powers was a World War II book about 6 Marines, 3 of which never made it home. they endure terrible things but all the while learn that just because somethings tough, doesn't mean you should give up on it. If you give up on difficult tasks, how would you ever feel a sense of accomplishment?

You can't stop trying just because somethings difficult. John Bradley shot a Marine by mistake, but took responsibility for what he did, and carried him to safety. For his nobility, he earned the Navy Cross. 26,000 Americans were shot down defending land from the Japanese, even though they only lost 22,000 men. Then when John Bradley made it home, he told story's about how the true heroes didn't make it home. things were not easy and these people kept working and trying.

When your at war, you cant stop fighting because its tough, its war. Rome wasn't built in a day, and nothing can be done over night. You have to keep trying. If things just came to everyone, then no one would ever be satisfied.

If somethings tough, you've just got to keep trying. You can't give up, ever for anything. the World War II guys didnt give up, and you can't give up. Rome wasnt built in a day, nor will anything else ever be. No matter how many people, no matter how hard you try.
