I feel that this man did a great thing risking his life for others and had no attention paid to him whatsoever.
When his platoon came under intense fire from the enemy located on a ridge to the front, six members of Sergeant Dolby's platoon were killed and a number wounded, including the platoon leader. Sergeant Dolby moved the wounded to safety and deployed the remainder of the platoon to engage the enemy. His dying platoon leader ordered him to withdraw the forward elements to rejoin the platoon. Despite the continuing enemy fire Dolby positioned able-bodied men to cover the withdrawal of the forward elements, assisted the wounded to the new position, and alone, attacked enemy positions until his ammunition was expended. Replenishing his ammunition, he returned to the area of most intense action, single-handedly killed three enemy machine gunners and neutralized the enemy fire. He defied enemy fire to carry a wounded soldier to safety, and then crawled within 50 meters of enemy bunkers and threw smoke grenades to mark them for air strikes. Although repeatedly under fire at close range from enemy snipers and automatic weapons, he directed artillery fire on the enemy and succeeded in silencing several enemy weapons. He remained in his exposed location until his comrades had displaced to more secure positions.

Road Trip

One of my five would be New York it has many landmarks and tons of other features such as the Statue of Liberty, it is also known for its beautiful skyline I would also like to see Yankee Stadium because of all the history there, the next place i would travel to would have to be Boston it is known for all of the history there and many different cultures some of the things Boston is known best for is there New England Clam Chowder, Maine lobster, and the New England Patriots football team. After New England I would head to Washington D.C. with all the museums and our nations history, they also have some of Americas most prized monuments and some of the oldest colonial houses still standing. Next on my list would have to be Los Angeles, California they have many fun things to offer such as Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu, and even Sunset Boulevard. The beaches and nightlife of California is why i would visit there and watching the sunset on Malibu Beach. My next place in mind would be Las Vegas because of all the lights they are known for and the buildings, it is one of the hottest gambling spots in the United States if not the world Las vegas has produced some of the largest numbers of tourist every year than any other place in the United States.

Where am I?



As i regained my conscientiousness, I remember asking myself where am I? I had waken up in a dark alley and had only myself to blame. For I had no clue where i was if i would not have been so stubborn I would have never been here. I found myself between two buildings some would call it a vestibule, but my reason I was here I was on the run from some of my fellow mobsters they had been after me for witnessing the murder of my own brother and I was either going to get revenge or get someone to help me get revenge as I laid here in an extreme amount of pain from the gun shot wound I had encountered in my arm earlier that day, I was trying to think of what to do I needed some where to go to get myself taken care of. Then all of a sudden some headlights turned on a little further down the alley it was hard for me to tell what was going on with the lights so bright then an ominous figure stepped in front of one of the lights it took me a while to tell who it was but i knew that figure from anywhere it was the man who murdered my brother a shot of anger and fear drove through me as I stood up to face him he pulled out his pistol and I did the same he said it doesn't have to end like this and I said nothing he unloaded his clip on me as I dove behind a dumpster I then came out and took my revenge...

Turkey!

Coach Rhodes

I haven't really been here that long but my favorite memory of coach Rhodes would have to be when we sang him happy birthday on his 50th birthday a whole lot of classes got together and sang for him, another one would have to be after the pep rally when he was giving his birthday cake to anyone who wanted a piece.
