I joined the USMC cause of 9/11. Im a combat Engineer. Explosives. I did 4 deployments. 3 to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. Was shot in both my legs when i was in iraq. They gave me a Purple Heart for it. I did 8 years. Im out now as a wounded warrior. Going to school full-time. Divorced with no kids. Just me and the dog. I do all i can to help and give back now. I help raise awareness to those at Arlington and also to help out with the 22 veterans a day that commit suicide. I have lost many friends to the war but have now lost more to suicide than combat.
