Just when I think that this little girl is so amazing, she wirtes this for a work assignment at school. Tell me that this little girl is not special.
Thor,
Ok, I have just about had enough tears for a while, then Taylor brings in her home work assignment to me. It was for her English class and she had to type of a page of anything she wanted. Now mind you, she is 12, but at times her phrases are of that of an adult. This is what she choose to write about and I will do it word for word:
I would like to talk about Sergeant De Roo's memorial service. As you may have read, Sergeant Gabriel De Roo has recently past away, a victim of the Iraq was and I went to pay tribute to him and his family. I also was paying tribute with the Patriot Guard Riders. They are a group of people, mainly veterans who have served and their wives. Their job is to honor, but also to stand in front of protestors so that the family does not have to see the protesters. The protesters I am talking about are the people who protested at Staff Sergeant Morris funeral service I went to last summer (you may have never heard of him before) and to hear that they had their children protest with their parents, that makes them even more insane then they already are! I wish that I could go up to them and give them a few words to think about!! Even better, to pass a law to ban all protesting at soldier's funerals. That would be nice to not have that evil in this world and for more people to be patriotic like the Patriot Guard Riders and me. Now I am not trying to brag or anything but everyone says that I am special, and I am not saying I don't like what these people are saying about me but I am nothing special. The people of the Patriot Guard Riders are the ones who are special. I hope to be a Patriot Guard Rider soon. I just want to be with them so that I can know everyone and be more involved with them. Can you think of any way to be more patriotic?
Ok Thor, I ask you, do you think that your group made a HUGE impact on her life? I think she summed it up perfectly. All of you.....ALL OF YOU....your example WILL be followed!
