The 82nd Airborne Rangers helped Army win against Navy

                Today in Western Civilization we watched a video where famous actors read the Declaration of Independence. Each actor read part of the document, and they would pan the camera while moving around the room to the next actor. It was cool to listen to it, especially with Mr. Schick’s input (that kept my mind from wandering), but the funniest thing was is that I did not recognize a single actor. I had heard the name Goldberg somewhere, but their first name was definitely not Whoopi. The only other name I recognized on that list was John Williams, who wrote the musical score for this video and the music for Star Wars. After that we had a discussion that was about differing opinions, and it somehow led to American being united during September 11^th, and then we just discussed September 11^th. After the twin towers collapsed (I still haven’t gotten this confirmed because dad isn’t home yet) I remember my dad saying that he was really fired up about going to take out the terrorists overseas, and he served in Iraq (as far as I know) helping to guard equipment. I’m pretty sure he did other things, as he was bombarded with all manners of weaponry from the hostiles in the area, but most of the pictures he has are of him in the barracks and guarding trains. I do know that my dad was an Airborne Ranger, meaning he received special training as a Ranger and did jump out of airplanes.
