War Is.....

War is ridiculous, killing our men.
War is protecting, serving our country.
War is needed, protecting our rights.
War is crucial, shedding blood and tears.
War is outstanding, protecting our country.
War is sad, murdering our loved ones. 
War is madness, destroying their minds.
War is disgusting, shredding our bodies.
War is scary, fighting in the darkness.
War is confusing, changing at the last minute.

Wounded Warrior Project

This Project,the wounded warriors, lets the victims from the war know they have a place to go and to do anything they want and need with people that have had the same predicament.

This Project has numerous programs that helps the mind, body, economic empowerment, and engagement. I think it makes them a better inner person with their mental problems; also keeps their mind off things and a place to go hide.

The Wounded Warrior Project has a Combat Stress Recovery Room, which helps them with their traumas that they have went through. From my opinion and from what i have inferred it gets them use to the life they use to have not the horrid memories from battle.

The Wounded Warriors has a program for the body which is The Physical Health and Wellness Program. I figured out it keeps your body healthy after injury while adjusting to being out of the madness of war. To me this program could keep you from going into depression and also helps with your body strength instead of doing nothing for your injury.

I could tell that This Project, the Wounded Warriors Project had plenty of thought to it. The programs were helpful with many of their Problems which got them on track. This project I believe has a tremendous effect on all the soldiers. Lets them know people care about them and they aren't they only ones out there

Book Review: Dark Flame

Alyson Noel's book Dark Flame got me hooked with it's dark magic and adventures.
The theme of the book is interesting. Ever tries to get the cure back from Romen so her and Damen can actually be together. The life lesson this book shows is to never give up keep going no matter how bad it gets. Ever and Damen not getting to touch each other is very hard on Ever. She trys to get in the doors to all the answers to help her and Damen, but she's loosing herself. Damen it really does not effect him at all. As long as he gets to be around her and see her everyday that's all he cares about. Ever misses his touch. Roman loves that they can't touch each other because Ever will always go him trying to get it. He can just play games with her.
Yes, the writer makes them seem real. The way the writer describes what they do and how they do it seems so realistic. I love the characters in this series of books. They are all connected in a way and know each other from way back in time.If i didn't like the characters I wouldn't care or want to read about the book. Since, I like the characters i always wonder what or how they're going to act next. Damen he's very outgoing and caring. He's always tried to help Ever like when she starts turning evil, he wants he to come ask him for help. When Ever does bad things behind his back like using dark magic he always forgives her. Another time is when she went to summerland without him and took Jude. Damen caught them there, but he still forgave her. Ever doesn't think much of herself and is always in bad situations. Ever is always putting herself down thinking she doesn't deserve the way Damen treats her. She deserves worse she always thinks. She has this curse on her where she can't resister her enemy. One day on Miles birthday she left Damen's side just to get close to him waiting on his touch. He just keeps walking!!! When Ever was thinking bad all the time about herself she actually started looking horrible. Her clothes were too baggy, she got zits, and her hair wasn't silky.
In some ways I can compare this book to others. The part I can compare is that it has magic in it like lot of other books i have read. Making spells, have special powers, very pretty,and strong is like the book Once a Witch. Dark Flame also has young love in it. Once a Witch has a very old family friend in it that she likes and he likes her too sooo it's similar. No, this book is fully on magic nothing really wasn't happening now. No, there really wasn't anything that personal that connected except one. When she got in a fight over trying to keep her friend safe and she didn't like it. Another connection i can make is when Ever tries to get her friend back and she does the right thing and says sorry to her. That's exactly what i had to do.
I recommend Dark Flameto readers that like magic, mystery, and to people who like reading about immortals. I give this book an eight.

remembering 9 11

911 has had little impact on my life yes, i think it's horrible, but it did nothappen to me. People that died in the building, their families would have had a bigger effect on them then on me. The reason i think that is because if one of my family members died in 911 i would be devastated and changed forever. Well, since no one i knew died at that disaster it did noteffect me, where i was in the little town of cave city. Plus another fact was that i was six years old and little kids like that don't really understand that well whats going on. 911 is a very unsettling and sad disaster for the US I'm glad i was no where near around .
