My American Journey by Colin L. Powell,Joseph E. Persico Pdf

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A great American success story . . . an endearing and well-written book.”—The New York Times Book Review Colin Powell is the embodiment of the American dream. He was born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He knew the rough life of the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history—Vietnam, the Pentagon, Panama, Desert Storm—but a history that until now has been known only on the surface. Here, for the first time, Colin Powell himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier’s directness. My American Journey is the powerful story of a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. At a time when Americans feel disenchanted with their leaders, General Powell’s passionate views on family, personal responsibility, and, in his own words, “the greatness of America and the opportunities it offers” inspire hope and present a blueprint for the future. An utterly absorbing account, it is history with a vision.

My American Diary by Abdul Aziz Pdf

Back in the beginning days of America's Civil War, the women of the small town of Marlette, Michigan, in the very heart of the Thumb wanted to show their support of President Lincoln and the Union forces in some small way. They collectively designed and sewed a huge Union flag of 34 stars, four rows of eight with an extra star at the end in between each two rows. This precious flag was then given to a gentleman they knew who lived just to the south who was leaving for the war. Color Sergeant Thomas Henry Sheppard's story, along with that of the Battle Flag of Company E, First Michigan Cavalry, is one of the most incredible true stories to ever come out of the Civil War. The Detroit Free Press back in the 1880's called it "an episode of the Civil War which has a strong coloring of Romance", as the Press told of how the colors of the First Michigan Cavalry were protected as the red, white and blue bunting became more and more tattered and sun-faded and bullet-ridden, and still the flag "assumed a dignity and interest even beyond that which the colors have of their own right to every loyal man". Thomas' account intersects with the lives of two of the War's most famous Generals and is written by a close relative of the third. The Color Sergeant took the colors and with his regiment carried them to the front lines where they saw hot service, and from which many did not return. In his words, the 1st Michigan "fought through the Shenandoah, on Banks' advance and retreat, in the campaigns of Pope and Burnside, and did yeoman service at the Battle of Gettysburg. They were under fire twice at Winchester, at Middletown, Strasburg, Harrisonburg, Occoquan and Thoroughfare Gap."

"My American Dream" by Thomas R Meinders Pdf

Every American should read this book to return our country to the land of the free and the home of the brave. America the Beautiful My American Dream is the fourth in the series about the problems confronting the United States of America. The other members of the series are Bashing Sarah Palin, America Can Recover and A Beautiful America. These books will make some people smile, some Laugh, some will agree, some will disagree, some might cry and some will think I am crazy. The purpose is to make people think about what is happening in our government. It doesnt matter whether you are a Democrat or Republican; make sure that your candidate is looking out for the people of your district. Remember it should be We the People, By the People and For the People and if your Representatives do not understand that then dont vote for them. Your vote really does matter. It doesnt matter which side of the isle you vote on. Both sides play these games. Right now our political system is broken and I hope they keep on fighting so that more voting Americans will wake up, get involved and really take a good long look at both candidates no matter what letter is next to their names. Hopefully then we can get a few quality people back in Washington who actually vote what their districts really want. Politics is about open ideas and cooperation anyway. Isnt it?

Permit My American Dream by Anonim Pdf

This novel depicts the odyssey of an immigrant in the USA as he chased his American dream. His journey started from the day he acquired a US visa in his homeland, having undergone a gruelling grilling like a Hilary Clinton being put on the spot to defend her sanction of the war in Iraq. When he finally got the gold spoon, he felt like he was the burning torch in the hand of the Statue Of Liberty. Then just when he thought he was heading for a bed of roses in the mainland, he had to think twice in paradise. The work appeals to every emotion - sadness, joy, disgust and even loneliness. The protagonist uses flashbacks and his stream of consciousness to stimulate the actions in the story.

Please Let Me Keep My American Dream Alive! by Ertuvan Kanatsiz Pdf

This book seeks to tell as simply as possible what I think about some topics which are dear to me. I tried a little humor, civility and honesty in my poems and articles. This book is also of an important and sometimes painful part of my life. I was encouraged by my family and friends to write and share them with my readers. For a happier existence, we all should: Write our anger on a cloud For the rain to wash it away. Write our hate on the snow For the sun to melt it away. Friendship and love should be written on baby's heart For them to grow and encompass the world.

My American Unhappiness by Dean Bakopoulos Pdf

“Why are you so unhappy?” That’s the question that Zeke Pappas, a thirty-three-year-old scholar, asks almost everybody he meets as part of an obsessive project, “The Inventory of American Unhappiness.” The answers he receives—a mix of true sadness and absurd complaint—create a collage of woe. Zeke, meanwhile, remains delightfully oblivious to the increasingly harsh realities that threaten his daily routine, opting instead to focus his energy on finding the perfect mate so that he can gain custody of his orphaned nieces. Following steps outlined in a women’s magazine, the ever-optimistic Zeke identifies some “prospects”: a newly divorced neighbor, a coffeehouse barista, his administrative assistant, and Sofia Coppola (“Why not aim high?”). A clairvoyant when it comes to the Starbucks orders of strangers, a quixotic renegade when it comes to the federal bureaucracy, and a devoted believer in the afternoon cocktail and the evening binge, Zeke has an irreverent voice that is a marvel of lacerating wit and heart-on-sleeve emotion, underscored by a creeping paranoia and made more urgent by the hope that if he can only find a wife, he might have a second chance at life.
