This is just a short story and my everyday hero's. I will start by saying my biggest hero's are the ones who are not here anymore. My father was in the Army and faught overseas. He got drafted and fought in WWII and survived but he remembered so much. My Next hero is my oldest brother Dale, he was drafted for the Vietnam War. I was born 6 month before he left. He spent many years overseas. He spent a couple years in Germany. My Father-in law, Earl was in the Navy and served his country to the fullest.
I have 3 other brothers who also served. I was in the Marine Corps. And 2 was in the Army. I have 2 nephews who also served in the Army.
And of course me I served in the Army from 1987 thru 1993. I served during Desert Storm. My son DJ also joined the Army in 2010 and he enlisted in it for 6 years.
I've had many of my uncles who served in the military, I still keep in contact with some of the guys I served with.
I would not trade it for anything. The experience was great, I learned so much, from respect to protecting yourself and how much you can push yourself.
