Read this speech given by US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel on Veterans Day 2014. What is the purpose of the speech? Every year, we set aside Veterans Day to honor all the men and women who’ve served our country in uniform. We celebrate veterans from generations past. We welcome a new generation of veterans home from war. And we thank our future veterans, still serving at home and abroad. They are securing our nation through their engagement across the globe. Some are in West Africa, contributing to the global effort to stop the spread of Ebola. Some are in the Middle East, working closely with our coalition partners in the fight against ISIL. And some are in Afghanistan, where next month the United States will responsibly end the longest war in our history. For our troops serving around the world today, and those transitioning out of the military, our obligations are only beginning. Taking care of them, and their families, is a sacred responsibility we must always uphold. Let’s celebrate them by telling their stories. Let’s help those who need it, while supporting their strength and resilience. And let’s honor our veterans by creating new opportunities for them to contribute after their service, so they can continue making a difference in the world. To all our veterans—thank you. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our country. You’re among the best our nation has to offer. God bless you and your families, and happy Veterans Day. A. to express gratitude to US veterans B. to inform the country where veterans are stationed C. to persuade Americans to show their gratitude to veterans D. to support the families and friends of US veterans

It is false..

Explanation:

hope this help!^^

if it wrong, i am sorry about that))

Answer: False

Explanation:

Well, just talking about one part of New York City doesn't sum up the entirety of your trip. Think about it. You're trying to talk about what you did during the summer. If you put one thing about it, that doesn't give the readers an insight on what you really did. A title is supposed to encapsulate the general idea.

Who were the Drummer Boys? Provide a summary in your own words

Answers

Answer:

They were younger boys who would serve as drummers for western armies in the second half of the 19th century.

Answer:

During the second half of the 19th century, it was accepted in many western armies that under aged boys served as drummers. Although there were usually official age limits, these were often ignored; the youngest boys were sometimes treated as mascots by the adult soldiers.

Explanation:

A drummer was responsible for the army drums for use on the battlefield. Drums were part of the field music for hundreds of years, being introduced by the Ottomans to Europe. Chinese armies however had used drums even before that. With the professionalization of armies, military music was developed as well.

The Etching on this page is of Overhead Telephone and Telegraph Wires in Broadway, 1890. "Wires snapped on a regular basis as a result of over tension, wind, or ice weighing them down. The electrical wires carried a significant charge, but the other wires carried electricity as well. As wires snapped and lashed across streets, smashing against buildings, thrashing about, spraying sparks in all directions, blocks were rendered impassable until power to the downed lines could be cut." From "Book of Old New York." Henry Collins Brown. 1913.

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of the following properties would be most important for your wire to have?

"She's fine . . . and I really hope that people, you know, hear that when I say—and when other people who are close to her [say]—she's having the time of her life because she does want to share with people singing and dancing about animals and about respecting them . . . that's what she really, truly loves doing."
