Winston Churchill, the Remarkable Hero
"We shall never surrender."
Winston Churchill was a remarkable man. He was born in 1874 in Blenhiem Palace in Oxfordshire, England. When he was fifteen his father offered him to join the army. Winston accepted the offer and was in the army for seven years. After the army Winston decided he wanted to get into politics. He gave speeches in front of thousands of people and said that he would not let his country down. At first they did not believe him because in his early years as a student he got straight F's. He wrote about ten books, one of of his most famous was called The Story of Malakand Field Force. He got very frustrated with society. One example of his frustration was when they would not let him have the political role that he wanted. In other words he was a determined man. He gave about over 50 speeches in four years. Most of his speeches were about Parliament or wars. As he said, he did not let his country down. Churchill suffered a stroke on January 15, 1965. Nine days days later he died at the age of 90. In Blenhiem Palace, near his birthplace, Churchill's grave was made.
Winston Churchill was different from most people in his time. He did a lot of traveling to other countries just to talk to kings, queens and presidents. He had talked to Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Queen Elizibeth II and even King George the 6th. He wrote books about wars and risked his life just to write a book. He also served as Prime Minister. "We shall never surrender," said Sir Winston Churchill during World War II. Imagine thinking that you were going to be killed in a war because the enemy outnumbered you in everything including air power, firepower and even armies. The British had a good chance of loosing. It is a good thing that he said that because he lead them to victory. Winston Churchill had an unbreakable spirit.
"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat."
