just finished it

Hi! It's almost 10:00 at night right now, but I'm still wide awake. Around 5:00, I got really sleepy. I had a long day. Tomorrow, I'm going to do my paper route with my two older siblings. Only ten minutes ago, me and my family finished watching the HBO TV miniseries Band of Brothers, which my family and I have always loved. It's the true story of Easy Company serving in World War 2 in Europe. When I first saw it, I was stunned. I thought, What have I got to complain about? Well, they had everything to complain about. Sometimes I bicker about the smallest things, but they would normally ignore them. On D-Day, they had the fear of their plane being shot down. In Bastogne, France, they had the extreme cold and the artillery that the Germans were firing. One of Easy Company's most famous veterans, Major Richard Winters, died over a year ago. What have we got to complain about? We are very lucky to be Americans. We have a roof over our heads, and for heaven's sake, we're alive! Have you ever thought about how lucky we are?
