War

Wars have existed since the beginning of the world. Mankind is always solving their problems fighting or in the battlefield. But wars reach beyond of what we see on television, read in the newspaper or listen on the street. These are compose of soldiers who, sometimes, gives their lives to defend their country. They fight the battles of others and they belong to a group called heroes. I believe that heroes are made of people, not necessary emergency service people, who risk or gave their lives to save others regardless of the danger. In conclusion, wars always bring destruction, not only to nations, also for families who lose their love ones because of war.

My brother is a soldier in the Army Reserve and he was deploy 400 days in Iraq. His group was the first one in Puerto Rico of reserves that was deployed. Since he was gone, my family, his friends, his girlfriend and I were preoccupied every single day because we were afraid that the call that now one wants to receive, occurs. He miss birthdays, my high school graduation and my prom. When he finally arrive to Puerto Rico we were very excited because finally he was in no danger and he were at home with us.
