War

I read an article titled "Fighter pilot lost nearly 20 years ago in Persian Gulf War to remain listed as missing" written by Ben Evens from the Star Tribune. The article is about a fighter pilot who flew in the Persian Gulf War who still to this day remains missing. Capt. Michael "Scott" Speicher's family and military friends wanted to make a point that they hadn't forgotten him and that they would never give up on the search for him; this is why he remains on the MIA list. I think this article is really important for not only his family, but everyone else as well. The article, written about a MIA fighter pilot, is about so much more than that. The article shows how important it is to still have hope, to still have faith in something that you believe in. Also, the article symbolizes never giving up on something you believe in.
