Maersk Alabama evades another pirate attack

wall street, USA today, google



The Maersk Alabama was attacked again by pirates, but this time after the ship was captured some men fired back killing three pirates in a daring nighttime attack and were able to evade the attacks. This time the ship had private guards fought the pirates off with gun fire and a high decible noise. The ship was attacked off the coast of Somalia, and was dropping off food to the war-torn country before heading on to Kenya. This time the ship was prepared for an attack and they were able to fight off with their guards on board.



If I were a pirate and I attacked a cargo ship, I would never attack it again, because the next time it may be armed and prepared for the attack. The bad guys never win and that's the case here. They should learn if they fail once, things are going to be worse the next time. I don't like pirates and don't know what the trill is attacking and hijacking the ships to capture the cargo. The pirates maybe sneaky, but after a ship is attacked once, you are aware of the danger and will have protection on your ship. I am glad that the pirates failed and they have to learn that the bad guys never win.

Vetrans Day

Happy Veterans day to all the Veterans out there weather you are serving or if you had served at one time in your life. My father served 8 years in the Navy and his job would be loading bombs on the aircraft's and made sure they were placed in properly. My older Brother is in the Army and what he does is if the military computers to run the operations aren't working, they rely on him to fix them and get them back and running. He has been in the army for about 5 years now. My brother has gone to Iraq twice and is getting ready to go to Korea for a year.

I am very proud of the veterans in this country. I thank them when I see a veteran, and I am very proud for serving our country. It takes a lot of guts and heart to suit up and fight for freedom and be able to make it through seeing people dying and you are wounded yourself. We don't realize that they are giving up their lives and fighting for their lives as much as they are ours. We do not realize what a soldier in the battle field goes through and the nightmares they will have for the rest of their lives. So I tell you now, if you know a veteran and see a veteran out on the street tell them thank you for fighting for our freedom.

Yankees win the world series

Winning the 2009 world series in six games is the New York Yankees, who ended the 9 year drought of not winning the world series. The Yanks lost the two games to sensational pitcher Cliff Lee, and were the first time in a long time to win the World Series after losing game 1. Alex Rodriguez finally won the world series and was finally productive in the playoffs. The World Series MVP was given to Hideki Matsui. Jeter was the most consistent hitter, despite never hitting a home run he constantly got on base. The Yankees played as a team and were able to win as a team against the reigning champs, Philadelphia Phillie's.

My favorite team has always been the Yankees, so I am so very excited and happy for them. I thought the Yankees were a very hot team and didn't think anyone would get in their way. Their hitting was so great it gave pitchers nightmares except one, and that is Cliff Lee. The Yankees gave vetran Pedro Maritinez a hard time. The Yankees were a very exciting team to watch with all the home runs, comebacks, hits, and runs they got every game. They proved that they had over a 100 wins for the season, and had dominating performances to win the world series. Congradulations to the Yankees and good luck next year.
