“Some gave all…All gave some”… these words will always be a part of my life and the memories that I have of the war. I joined the Army in 1996 as a Petroleum Supply Specialist and never thought that I would end up on the front lines with Battle Buddies fighting in a war on terrorism. After three deployments to the combat zone not only did I become a part of history, I became a guardian of freedom and the American way of Life. Even though there were many days and nights that death was knocking on my door from the attacks that we encountered, my support from my family and friends helped me stay focus and continue the mission. When a total stranger greets me while I’m in Uniform and says “Thanks for your service”, it really makes me feel appreciated. These words will always brighten a Soldier’s day no matter how they are feeling. I am glad to be a part of the most elite service and serving my great country. The things that I have done have really been an experience like never before and I would be more than happy to do it all over again.
