~:[CH3 - Day 117]:~ An Honor
Often times, when you're stuck in the house working most of the day, it can be painful and tedious, however, the work I had to do today, was well worth the many hours it took to complete. While I could not attend my uncle's funeral, I was able to edit a video in his honor. As a history teacher, I can appreciate all his accomplishments aside from the loving family member that he was. My uncle was a member of the 442nd "Christmas Tree" Regiment who is considered "the most decorated infantry regiment in the history of the United States Army." Also known as the "purple heart battalion," my uncle fought for this battalion and he himself earned a purple heart. During an ugly time of racism in our country's history, this battalion fought for the greater good of our country. Ironically, the editing of this video came at a time where an issue of racism has arisen in the ranks of the NBA. My hope is that this event can help us rise above racism and that we can all rise above it, together.
