Respect to those who fought for our country

hello once again my fellow bloggers. I know that my topics right now are all different, but I am doing this to discover exactly what I would like to write about.

Everyday, people are overseas fighting for us. They fight to make sure they keep the war over seas and make sure that we have a safe place to live. Six years later, I feel that many peoples appreciation to those fighting have died down. I was wrong. A friend of mine has been there and back. He fought for our country at the age of 18. I could never imagine being in an unsafe foreign country at that age. Sometimes, he still has to wear his uniform for events. This weekend I realized how appreciative people are to those who fought for us. For example, my friends and I were online buying tickets for a carnival. A man who worked the carnival noticed my friend in uniform. He approached him, thanked him for everything he has done, and told him that his money was no good here. The man not only allowed him in for free, but all of us too. After the carnival, the same thing happened at the movies. People kept coming up to him, shaking his hand. One of the workers also told him his money was no good here and allowed us all in once again. Now I guess you can say that my friends and I were a little bit spoiled this weekend. But i didnt think of it this way. I too thanked my friend for everything, and realized how imporant it is to go over to someone who is in uniform and thank them. The littlest things like that, help tremendously.

Feast of San Gennero

Saturday, was the Feast of San Gennero. This is when almost all of Mullberry Street in Little Italy is closed off. On the street there are games and alot of food. This year it was my first time ever going to the feast. In the morning it had rained, but by eleven it cleared up and became a beautiful cool day. It was a beautiful day to be in the city. Before arriving to the feast, i had imagined it as if there were all these italian foods all over the place. Honestly, all i saw that was very Italian were the pastries. All of the other foods were just like any other festival. The feast was packed and it was very hard to move around. I still was able though to walk from start to finish. Although it wasn't exactly how I imagined the feast, I still had a great time and will definatley want to go back next year.
