i feel that larry's entries become less personal, and less caring, becuase, he just honestly doesnt want to try all that much, and doesnt really care.
he just wants to start his life and he cant.

on to europe
my reaction:
"My 19th birthday, a very sad day for me. I felt very low, away from home. Looking ahead to three months of basic training and regimentation. With answering only yes sir or no sir. Also started a series of shots."
when i read this (the first thing, it made me think of when my mom and step dad sent me to boot camp. and how i felt.
after reading it all, it kinda brought a few tears, because, it seemed like larry didnt really have a life, as soon as he turned 19, he went off. and there was no privacy, hard work, and dedication, was put into his "goal"

Larry Bennett
my reaction to the story of Larry Bennett :
He seemed like a simple teenager for those years, he was in school, was working, had a steady girlfriend, and was going into the army.
he seemed to like ice skating, and being with Betty. i dont have much to say about him, because i couldn't really understand him all that well, but i did get that he had a simple life for the most part.

i know I'm late on these blogs, I'm sorry i couldn't get to a computer, you don't know my full situation, but if you would like to know just ask privately please.
so i listened to the speech, i could barely understand him, but of what i could make out, the enemies attacked them. they were "thrown" into the battle, in which im guessing they didn't want it?
they sent hundreds of threats, its sad, cannons were fired and the troops didn't have that much shelter. it the struggle lasted 4-5 days.
the royal navy wanted to fight the British.
they carried on with no rest, they made trips out to the water, with many men, with lots of courage. they were the target, men and woman were both on board. defeat happened. the enemy was thrown back by the British troops. many of the soldiers haven't seen the air forces work. between the British and the Germans,
the battle between the British and the Germans, is sad, every war is sad, to me.
my reaction would probably have to be sorrow and sympathy.

Salerno
"City (pop., 2001 prelim.: 144,078), southern Italy. Located on the Gulf of Salerno, it was founded by the Romans in 197 BC on the site of an earlier town. Part of a Lombard duchy from AD 646, it was the capital of an independent Lombard principality from 839 to c. 1076. It was then conquered by the Norman Robert Guiscard and became his capital. It was later incorporated into the Kingdom of Naples. During World War II, Salerno's coast was the scene of a major battle (September 1943) between Allied landing forces and German troops. It is an active seaport in an industrial area; its landmarks include a medical school (the earliest in Europe, probably founded in the 9th century) and the cathedral (845, rebuilt 1076–85) that contains the tombs of St. Matthew and Pope Gregory VII." -- Italy's definition of Salerno.
"Salerno, capital of Salerno prov., Campania, S Italy, on the Gulf of Salerno, an inlet of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is an agricultural, commercial, and industrial center. Manufactures include machinery, textiles, construction materials, and processed food. Originally a Greek settlement and later a Roman colony (founded 197 B.C.), Salerno became (6th cent.) a part of the duchy of Benevento and in the 9th cent. the seat of an independent principality, which fell to Robert Guiscard in 1076. In Sept., 1943, there was fierce fighting on the beaches near Salerno between the Allied landing forces and the Germans, who were pressed to retreat toward Naples. Of note in Salerno is the Sicilian-Norman cathedral (11th cent; redone in the 18th cent.), with the tomb of Pope Gregory VII and an impressive 12th-century pulpit. The famous medical school of Salerno (founded in the 9th cent., closed in the early 19th cent.) is believed to have been the first of its kind and reached its height in the 12th cent."
