hi everyone I found the Roger More more Hollywood star sign in Hollywood Los Angeles the reason why I really like Roger Moore was that he was very creative and making Simon Templar a very great character in the Saint the TV show where he made Simon Templar a very compassionate person want to help people and be very creative at doing different spy work also Roger Moore was very excellent at James Bond in many of my fa favorite movies that he played in which was Live and Let Die men with the Golden Gun the spy who loved me Moon maker for your eyes only octopusy and View to a Kill the reason why I really like Roger Moore as James Bond was because he made James Bond have a sense of humor very creative with onliners use um um gadgets to help him on his missions had great connections with the Bond girls and he had compassion for his allies and people when they face struggles I really miss the Roger Moore eror of the James Bond movies because he made the movies very fun laughable and exciting to watch with his creativity of making Bond a unique character besides his acting career I’ve always admired Roger Moore for his support for people with disability rights causes his support for people with disability rights causes and his characters as Simon Templar and the Saints and as James Bond in the James Bond movies that he played in helps give me inspiration to work hard

name is Matt winck and I just want to say I’m visiting the Kobe Bryant memorial statue and the reason why I want to take the time to visit this memorial statue is to take the time to pay my respects to a very very great athlete but also someone who really was a big supporter of people with disability rights causes and including the people of the autism community and he really inspires me to work hard in my disability is autism with a learning disability and when I deal with hard challenges of being bullied being put down about having a disability or even when people ghost me or don’t want to treat me as a person who wants to do good things I can always remind myself that I’m very appreciative of the fact that Kobe Bryan is going to x amount to support people with disability rights including people with Autism and he really inspires me to try to be a better person to work hard to improve myself to use critical thinking compassion and even try to work on to expand on knowledge to understand the world better and to to make myself become a better person in society I know it’s hard to find good celebrities or athletes or are willing to support social justice including people with disability rights but it’s very important that we have more of these people to support these causes to make Society a better place and to even to help me try to understand how to navigate societ society and I want to send my sympathies to Kobe Bryan’s family that I’m sorry that he passed away and I’m always thinking of good thoughts sending you positive vibes and let you know that I very very deeply admire Kobe Bryant for what he’s done not only the athletic Community but for the people with disabilities Community including for myself as someone who struggles with autism including learning disability and again I’m very grateful for visiting the Kobe Bryant memorial statue to take the time to pay my respects and to really recognize someone who really wanted to make a world a better place
