Narrative Essay On Lemoine Flamur
Lemoine Flamur was back at camp ready to receive orders. He was in the middle of the war of Afghanistan in the desert of Farah Province, Afghanistan. They had set up camp near the Village of Shewan for they were about to try to take it. While he was sitting there he looked around at his platoon. They had set up two platoons Platoon 1 and Platoon 2. He was in the first platoon which meant he would be up front. He knew some of the guys there like Robert Amir who he was starting to buddy up to and Ceo, who was kind of a jerk. We were sitting there waiting for the commander to come back with orders. It was taking a while and he was starting to get impatient and he could tell the others were to. Then he could hear leather boots stomping into camp and he knew waiting was over. …show more content…
The plan is that the 1st platoon will go through route 517 and take them head on while the other platoon will head around Saffark Mountain. The plan is to chase the enemy into the mountains were the 2nd platoon will set a trap to take out the rest of them out. You ready cupcakes, good, it’s time to move out.”
As they saddled up in their trucks the 1st platoon in one and the 2nd in the other they were trying to prepare themselves for what was about to happen. He looked around and saw that all of them looked nervous. He himself had butterflies in his stomach. They drove down further until the two trucks split up into route 517 and Saffark Mountain.
They stopped a little farther away from the village and got out. They scoped out the village looking to see how many guys there were. Then once finished they used the walkie talkie to see if the 2nd platoon was in position. Once everything was ready it was time.
The commander said “all right ladies it’s time.”
And as he said it they all jumped up ready for action. Lemoine's worse fear came true it was time to

The Germans win and Erik thinks it’s over and he is exhausted and tired. Then their commander says that was the easy one and tells them to prepare for tanks to start progressing. In the second wave the Germans start to drop and German hope looks lost. Erik is hit by a grenade and he is hurt. He is lying in pain in the bottom of a trench.

    Generals Die in Bed - Plot

    The story starts in Montreal with an unnamed soldier of 20 years old who is getting ready to leave with the Canadian army to go fight the Germans in Europe, mostly in France and Belgium, during World War I. He already starts to build close relationships with some of the fellow soldiers: Brown, Cleary, Fry, Broadbent and Anderson. Soon after, the story shifts to the trenches, where the conditions are unsanitary with lice and fat rats. The narrator (which is still and will stay unknown) changes his perspective about war. When he thought war contained glory and glamour, he finds himself wrong when his comrades start to die, beginning with Brown. A while later, he is emotionally affected when he kills a German with his bayonet. His emotional status worsens when another of his friend dies. The narrator then goes on leave for 10 days in England, where a prostitute makes him forget about the war. When he comes back, an attempt to raid the Germans takes place where the rest of his friends, except Broadbent dies. The general tells the new team that the Germans sank a hospital ship, and organizes another raid, this time to kill everyone. The narrator has wounded his foot, and discover that Broadbent was mortally wounded too. Broadbent’s leg is hanging by a string of flesh, but then dies by blood loss. Then the war is over. The recruits are told that the general lied, the Germans didn’t sink a hospital ship. It was a ship filled with weapons. He then realizes war is basically a chess game for the generals, and the soldiers are just young boys, listening to the orders, with meaningless ideals…

    It Happened on the Way to War.

    It Happened On The Way To War is a book by Rye Barcott. This book talks about a marine who dreams of making a difference in the world. We read about his life, feeling as if we were a part of it. Three values that he clearly shows in this book are balance, leadership and Inspiration. Somebody once said that in order to succeed in life, you have to have a balance between your personal life and your professional life. Rye Barcott not only shows us the importance of having a balance, but he also shows us how hard it is to find that balance. While he was a part of the Marines, he was expected to transition easily from the combat mode to peace keeping mode. He thought that he will be able to separate the founder of Carolina for Kibera(CFK) from the marine that he was meant to be and vice versa. However as he started his journey, he soon realized how difficult finding balance actually is. After he came back from Kibera and started bootcamp. Rye noticed a difference in his performance. His said that for the first time in his life, he was in the bottom half of the class. “ It’s like a dual culture shock” (90 Barcott, Rye) thats what is what his mother said that he was going through. This was the first time, we see Rye struggling to keep his personal and professional life separate. As time went by he was able to over come the cultural shock, however once he was an official marine. he was presented with a new challenge. He had to look at children that he was trying to improve the lives off, as potential suspects. As a marine he had to check kids that looked innocent for bombs and weapons and then then as a founder of CFK he had to go and help them. In my leadership class, I have been taught that in order to be a good leader you need to do 5 things. You have to model the way, inspire a shared vision, encourage the heart, challenge the process and enable others to act. In the book, Rye demonstrates most if not all of these 5 qualities. He…

    Black Hawk Down

    It was October 3rd 1993, and the D-Boys, Delta Company, were preparing themselves for a quick strike on a suspected house that could possibly be holding Aidid or several of his lieutenants. The mission was supposed to be a quick in and out, taking an hour to possibly 30 minutes or less. If everything was to go to plan the D-boys would have successfully grabbed and tagged Aidid and at least two of his lieutenants, and be back to eat supper and sleep comfortably in their beds. Because the mission was only to last a few minutes the Ranger’s supporting the D-boys instead of preparing for a long fight left behind vital night vision supplies and even water. This would result in trouble for the men entering into Mogadishu as the fight would not take 30 minutes, but would result in a long gruesome 15 hour battle.…

    Last Stand of Fox Company

    There were many brave heroes at the battle of Fox Hill but one Private Hector Cafferata’s story stands above them all. On the first night at Fox Hill, Cafferata found his foxhole surrounded by the enemy as the Chinese passed through the gaps in the American lines during the first night of the attack. Two enemy riflemen reached the edge of their hole and Cafferata clubbed them with his shovel. One of them dropped a Thompson submachine gun. Cafferata picked it up and emptied it into another approaching squad. He and his foxhole buddy retreated back to a trench they had identified earlier, to join two other Marines shoulder to shoulder to shoot upon a wall of enemy that overran the machine gun emplacement next to them. The four Marines in the trench provided supporting cover fire to repel the Chinese assault as the enemy focused on the machine gun emplacements, leaving fire team after fire team dead. The other Marines mowed down the attacking enemy but were still overcome through the sheer number of attacking forces and the inevitably running out of ammo, often taking a few more of the enemy with them in bayonet and hand-to-hand combat.…

    Helmet For My Pillow Analysis

    The history of war is what many spend time reading about in textbooks. Few, however, experience war and all that it encompasses. David Leckie, a marine during World War II, uses his book, Helmet for My Pillow, to share with readers the truth of what it was like to be a soldier. Rather than skimming the surface of his time on Parris Island and the Pacific Islands, he goes into unmatched, excruciating detail; every trench dug, every shot fired, and every fallen soldier passed was recounted by Leckie. Setting this story apart from any other, the first-hand accounts of combat, unlikely descriptions of the day-to-day actions of the soldiers, and the heart that Leckie intertwines with each part of his story all combine to make this thought-provoking,…
