Keeping my family Close!

If I were a solider in Lieutenant Jimmy Cross’s unit, I would have a hard time deciding what I would carry. For starters, I think I would carry some pictures of my family members. Some specific ones would be one of my whole family including my brother and sister and my parents. I would also carry one of my grandparents and of my aunt who is very special to me. I would want to carry them with me in order to remember my family and possible remember what I am fighting for. If I had to choose something else it would be a journal. I think that being able to write all of your thoughts down and what you are going through would be very important because it would keep you sane. It would also be useful to tell stories about my experiences in the future.

I think the other thing I would carry would be a ring that my parents bought for me in Greece. I wear this ring all the time and it is a constant reminder of my parents and how much they mean to me. I wear this ring every day and if I don’t I feel like I am missing something. All of these things are very important to me because they remind me of my family and home. If I was a solider, also, it would remind me who I am fighting this war for. It would be very important to me to keep them close to my heart and to constantly remind me that I want to go home to see them.
