“And my life was put in the hands of young men I would otherwise never have met, by and large high-school dropouts, who turned to be among the finest people i have ever knownThis Quote really stands out to me. I feel as though America’s “tradition” is that you go to high school, graduated and then go on to college and if you are a “dropout” than you are considered a lot lower than those who do go on to finshing high school and heading off to college. People who serve our country no matter if you have finished college, high school or any other kind of schooling are just as important and just has honorable as those who did go on to high school and college. People who serve for our country have such an honorable and high ranked job. They are the ones protecting us and they come from all over. When people are putting their life on the lines for us that surpasses all of what an education could get you, they are out there fighting for us.

I think that it is true that people who are drop outs and go on to fight for are country are really important and honorable. They are risking their life to protect ours and chose to fight for us rather than go to school to get a higher degree.
I agree! I feel that they deserve the same respect as everyone else. They are risking their livees to help our country, so to me it doesn’t matter if they didn’t get a high school diploma or a college education.
I totally agree with you. You don’t have to go to school to fight and protect your country. Those men and women are brave to do what they do everyday. I know for me personally I couldn’t do that. I think its amazing now that all of cultures that live in the U.S. can be in the marines, Army, and etc.
