Finale=Bonus


Choose ONE only to pad a little punch to the subs and up your donation by $5.00 bringing a final total for a 100% paper to $13.66 or $13.09.


1. Name the Marine from Lovington killed in Vietnam who was also a Lance Corporal.


2. Write three or more paragraphs explaining the fold in the flag that most impresses you.


3. Write three or more paragraphs about any E-3, here or in Heaven (and not Aaron) that you’d like to honor. I think it would be neat if you chose someone you’d never known before and try to get to know them a little or choose someone close to you that you could brag on a little. Writing about someone who was once an E-3 is perfectly acceptable.



Thank you for taking this test.
