Memorial Day Weekend

My weekend was very uneventful. I stayed here at Drexel along with the only other 10 residents in my building. I stayed in the majority of the time and watched a couple of movies. One movie I watched was We Were Soldiers, which happens to be one of my favorite movies. It is about the Vietnam War and the soldiers who fought in it. The movie depicts one battle in particular in which thousands of soldiers died. This movie was very fitting for Memorial Day because you can’t help but think of all the fallen soldiers after watching it. After I was done watching the movie I thought of all the veterans I know and the people in Iraq that I know. I also found myself thinking of my twin brother who is in boot camp for the Marines right now, praying that he never sees a battle like the one depicted in the movie.
