Life in the military has taken me to many places. The first few years I was in the US Navy and seen many new places for someone of 18 years. With a honorable discharge under my belt in 1989 I thought I had life by the tail like many other people before me. New loves and then lost loves or were they really loves at all. In 1994 I joined the National Guard and am currently finishing my career. I have see the uglyest in things (hurricain Katrina, and the Iraq war). But the best things I have seen is the support for my brothers and sisters from the american people. The love is very overwelming and is greatly taken in by the military men and women. Please take my thanks for these brave and caring people. May God bless you all and the miltary men and women of this country.
