This Medal Is For You Papa

Most of us have grown up hearing stories about superheroes and their heroic deeds. From saving lives to protecting the weak, these fictional characters have always inspired us to be brave and selfless. But sometimes, the true heroes are not the ones in capes and masks. They are the ones who stand beside us, guiding us through life's challenges. They are our fathers, our papas.

This article is a tribute to all the papas out there, the unsung heroes of our lives. It is a celebration of their love, sacrifices, and unwavering support. So, grab a tissue and get ready to be touched by their extraordinary stories.

The Love that Knows No Bounds

Picture this: a child learning how to ride a bicycle for the first time. There are bound to be falls, scrapes, and tears. But there's always someone there, running alongside the wobbly bike, ready to catch them when they tumble. That someone is often our papa. With a smile on his face and words of encouragement on his lips, he gives us the courage to try again and again.

Our papa is the one who teaches us how to tie our shoelaces, fix a broken toy, and ride a rollercoaster without fear. He is there when we succeed, celebrating with us, and there when we stumble, helping us back on our feet. His love knows no bounds, and his dedication is unshakable.

The Sacrifices They Make

Our papa is not only our guide but also our provider. He works tirelessly to ensure that we have everything we need. From putting food on the table to paying for our education, our papa makes countless sacrifices to give us a better life.

He may be exhausted from working long hours, but he wouldn't trade it for the world. The joy on our faces when we open our birthday gifts or the excitement in our eyes on a family vacation – those are the rewards that make it all worth it for our papa. His selflessness is truly inspiring.

The Unwavering Support

Life is full of ups and downs, and our papa is there with us every step of the way. Whether it's cheering from the sidelines at our soccer games or offering a shoulder to cry on after a breakup, our papa is our number one fan and our pillar of strength.

He believes in us when no one else does and supports our dreams, no matter how big or small. Our papa is the one who tells us that we can achieve anything we set our minds to. His unwavering support gives us the confidence to chase our dreams and reach for the stars.

A Medal of Gratitude

As children, we often take our papas for granted. We forget to say "thank you" for the countless things they do for us. But today, let's change that. Let's honor our papas with a medal of gratitude.

This medal represents all the love, sacrifices, and support they have given us throughout our lives. It is a symbol of our appreciation for everything they have done and continue to do. So, let's take a moment to thank our papas for being our everyday heroes.

In

Superheroes may be fictional, but our papas are the real deal. Their love, sacrifices, and unwavering support make them the unsung heroes of our lives. They deserve to be celebrated and honored for everything they do.

So, the next time you see your papa, give him a big hug and say those two magic words: "Thank you." Because this medal is for you, papa.

This Medal is for you, Papa

This Medal is for you, Papa

When Sunday came it was the worst ever. Fear sat inside twelve-year old Hanna like a lump of stale bread she couldn’t swallow. She stared at her pastor- father, silently willing him not to talk about the Jews. Germans were forbidden to have anything to do with Jews. With Germany at war the eyes of the secret police, the Gestapo, were everywhere, even here in the village of Rosswalden. When a sign is nailed to the parsonage fence accusing her father of being a “Servant of Jews” he insists that Hanna take his picture standing proudly by the sign. Though her mother destroys the sign, someone betrays her father to the Gestapo and he is sent into the army for punishment. Her family must bear the disgrace and loss. “I will never forgive you, Papa,” Hanna cries. “You could have chosen safe Bible stories to preach on.” Why was her father so proud and stubborn for mere words?
Hanna, her mother, and young brother Martin must survive without him as Germany begins to lose the war, and the struggle becomes a search for daily food. When Olga, a member of the Hitler youth discovers the “Jew Servant” picture of her father and insists on taking it to the Gestapo, Hanna must find a way to destroy the evidence. The end of the war and news of her father’s death brings the end of all Hanna’s hopes for an education as a pastor’s daughter. Her family faces a bleak future. Was it all for nothing?
When Hanna meets a group of Jewish refugees who call her father a hero she is challenged by the choice to believe Olga’s words or the things her father believed and died for. How will she say the words that will comfort her brother Martin? On the day of the memorial funeral Hanna chooses. “This Medal is for you, Papa” is based on the true story of Hanna and her father, a German pastor during WWII.
