Happy Veterans Day 11/11/2011

You can tell from visiting my website that I am a proud Soldier, and a veteran, here’s a photo of me while I Was serving in Iraq it was taken in the rainy season which in early 2004 was February.   My Army National Guard Unit was called up to Active Duty late January 2003 and deployed to Fort Bliss, Texas where we trained and waited for our Trucks to get to deployed area, then we left April 9th 2003 for Kuwait where then we grouped up and retrieved our equipment to make the push up through Iraq, we crossed the boarder on April 19, 2003, we stayed in Country till we Left Iraq April 7th 2003 and returned to Fort Bliss Texas where we Demobilized from Active Service back to National Guard Status a Week Later where we were welcomed back home.   I remember this as all Veterans remember their times apart from Family and Friends, where they put their lives on hold to serve more then one self.  That’s a Veteran’s Sacrifice. We remember those who have fallen or who never made it home on Memorial Day, on Veteran’s Day we remember all those who have served and thank those Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen who still serve.
