green fields where the hedgerows still run and the sands on the beaches lie quiet as air; on the bluffs stand the cross and the star white and pure; the flag of our fathers flies high in the wind. The battlefields calling are seen by a few who have traveled so far‚ to set down their memories for buddies they’ve loved.

As children‚ our differences blurred. Both him and I could run across sandy beaches and green hills with the same laughter coursing throughout our bodies. We could battle against each other in Pokemon and watch Saturday morning cartoons together. Yet‚ with time it became clear to my parents that something

MANILA: A Beautiful City The Manila tour was a very challenging and interesting experience for me‚ since I am not that familiar with those places that we have gone by.
