Memorial Day Weekend

Well this weekend wasn't to eventful. I didn't go home and i didn't really do anything. There weren't to many people here to hang out with. I spent most of my time hanging around the dorm watching tv. I ended up watching sports center for a few hours over the weekend and the things that were playing actually happened to be involved with memorial day. There was a story of a young man only 25 years old who had enlisted in the war and was killed in Iraq. He had one wish and that was to teach the kids in Iraq to play soccer. His family and a person who heard about his wish started a foundation called kick for nick where they sent soccer balls across the ocean to Iraq. This story was about a fallen soldier and remembering him. Another story that was played was of the first Army player drafted into the NFL. This was his way to make it out of the war to be able to serve his country in a different way. He would be able to recruit people in america instead of fighting the war in Iraq. These stories were played to remember the people who fought and are fighting for our country. I thought it was nice that they could show stories about the war on a holdiay like this.
