America Taking a Step Forward
I see American soldiers putting up a solar panel
Wearing hats and shades and the backs of a camel
They all look interested in this new source of energy
Hoping Mother Nature will accept our apology
I wonder why it has taken us so long
To come to the conclusion that our system is flawed
Our country runs on oil but it’s drying up
Soon there won’t be enough to fill a sippie cup
Our nation is progressing but is it too late?
Will there be enough time to clean up that slate?
(This image is great because it relates to what we have studied about the American military and where it is going)
When I came across this image I immediatly knew that it was the one I wanted to use because it mixed together two concepts that have been thrown in my face all year, not just in AIS, but in my every day life. These two concepts are The military and the environment. Many people have this view of the military as this huge expensive production that is too busy to care about little things like the environment. So to see soldiers putting up a solar panel was refreshing to say the least. I was also quite taken with this image because of the environment presentation I saw on American Studies day. The presentation had great information and incredible images of the progress that we are making as an entire planet. So these soldiers putting up the solar panel are not just representing the progression of America, they are also representing the progression of the world.
