The National Guard

My sister’s fiancee Nick is in the National Guard.He was in South Carolina and is now in Virginia. I’ve known Nick for a total of six years and he is like a brother to me. Nick decided to join the National Guard because he dropped out of school in the 10th grade.  Also because he wanted to set his live strait.One bad thing is the heat in South Carolina. One of his crew members fainted and fell of his hummer and got hit by the next hummer and has killed. So Nick will be on a Black Hawk and he we fix them.There are nine people in a squad.The National Guard is a Army Force,they need to go to major disasters around the world.Some people have choose to only go to the one’s in America and Canada.

    My brother in law knows alot about this. Did a person really faint and kill another person? Tell me more about this. I never paid any attention to this stuff, but it is kind of interesting.

    I think National Guard is a bad thing because you can die from it. Also if a family lost a member they would cry so much . And some times you can die from a hummer and get killed like a bird being smashed into a car. Then there’s also people that drop out of school is sad because if you are died then your kids might do it to. Another thing is that if you go your family will miss you alot.

    My Uncle was a Marien fighting for our country and I am so proud of him for that. When they go out there to fight for our country they don’t only fight they survil. They give it all they got and they try their best everday. So when you think about the old saying ” It’s a FREE country ” remmenber the words “FREE & COUNTRY” are all because of they.

    You know this is really bad. I know someone that is going into the army again. Its a really sad thing. But at the most all we can do is pray and hope to god that the brave men and women that is saving our world right now in battle is our heros. Its just a risk that they take to keep our country safe! So lets just hope they stay safe and keep them in our hearts!

    Have you seen the recent commercial for the air force? It’s amazing what they do! They save peoples lives every day! God bless them. I could never in my life have the nerves, the guts, the heart to do anything so dangerous… to help others!

    I think the national guard is great It can really help a a lot of people. If anyone you know is in The air force, etc. you should really thank them a lot. If they didn’t fight for us the U.S. would be in terible condition.I love the national gaurd.

    This is so cool because people do not see helicopters that much in their life and people do not have information on them.
