Grab Whats Most Important




There was a fire that struck an apartment building on East 29 th street in New York causing at least 100 people to evacuate. The tragedy killed one person suprisingly with 31 others injured.The fire was located on the higher levels in a 60 level apartment building. 200 fire fighters responded to the scene. Shavan Agard at the age of 34 was giving her daughter a bath when she smelt the smoke, and all she thought about was her daughter and they rushed down the fire escape together safely.

This is crazy to take in, everything happens so quickly in these situations that there is only time to take what u value most. Fires can literally just burn your whole life away, they destroy almost everything that a common household product leaving families left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. This is one of those things that i just dont want to have first hand experiance with ever.

Imagine having to walk through a mall or business with a brain injury, not knowing what your doing half the time, or even forgetting how to get home or where your going when your two block down from home. These two Marines Franco and his son are very dedicated to the Marines. Giving their lives and their injuries for the U.S.
I think that the war in Iraq has been a very dramatic issue. Everyday more and more people are gettinginjured severly and killed. In my opinion the soliders should come back home. Everyone is always talking about the U.S debt soon to reach 14.5 trillion, and once that point comes the economy is going to fall apart and gas will shoot up very high, around $10 a gallon. This is pretty rediculous, even though the debt isnt a bad thing all the time, people just think "debt" is always negative when its not. Were always spending money on ammunition and all the additives for the war, this is a big role, especially with ammuntition as scarce and as expensive as it is.
In conclusion, i think we should start pulling more and more people out of the war, and start saving the econonmy from falling apart. Family and friends shouldnt have to be hurt and ruined everyday at the rate that soliders are getting killed in Iraq. Lets pull the out!
