If you were a soldier in Lieutenant Jimmy Cross’s unit, what would you carry? Why? Write about 300 words.
I am glad this was the question asked for our blog today because while I was reading the story I found myself pondering this exact question. I have a lot of very close friends who have been over to Iraq so I can understand how the people on the other side watching your loved ones walk away feel. You never truly know if they will be coming back but all you can do is pray that return to you safely. Now back to the question asked, first and most importantly I would bring pictures of my family, boyfriend and my friends because they mean the entire world to me. I also have 2 tiny charms, one is a breast cancer ribbon and one is a sapphire that both signify my parents, I would find a special place to put them in my backpack. A toothbrush would be a necessity to me because I feel like that would help me keep a feeling of being clean. I would also want to keep an extra set of clothing to change and something to keep me warm at night. Some other items to help keep me clean would be important to me and powder for my socks so I can keep my feet dry. A bible to stay connected to my faith and a couple books to read just to pass time if we had some down time. Also, I would remember to save every letter I was sent. I know that I possibly brought too much and my backpack would be heavy but I just do not know if I could narrow down my entire life into one backpack. I know I would have a hard time deciding on what to put in my backpack.
