Last time
Hanging the pants upside down, I place the outer seam at the leg cuff in line with the inner seam. Doing likewise with the second pant leg, I align the inner seams of both legs. This creates clean creases down the front and back of both pant legs. Placing the pants on......Read More

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
|
Usually things do not turn out the way you envision them. If you read me, you know my family and I have returned home from a three year, Army tour of duty, in Germany. This tour of duty involved a 15 month deployment to Iraq.
Now a Soldier is what a Soldier is told to do. (Yes that is......Read More

It does not seem as slow as it felt at the time. Years have flown by in a blur-- yet, in my mind time seemed to resist passing. Now that it is over my throbbing feet give witness to the miles this body has endured--to the miles that this family has endured.
All the signs are there. Signs......Read More

Pleasant Memories
I broke my foot. How? Walking too far, for too long, with too much weight on my back. We started out at 8PM at night and walked until 3PM the next day. Yes 19 ho
urs. I carried an Infantry Soldier’s full complement of gear plus a PRC-77 radio and extra......Read More

Civilian

Yesterday at 1PM, I signed out of the Army for the rest of my life! Today I awake as a civilian. I am on the outside looking in for the first time in 20 years.
Early tomorrow I will board a plane with my wife and two beautiful children and fly from Germany. We will spend 7 days in Walt......Read More

Stumbling he falls. The crustacean laden surface of the rocky shore digs deeply into the soft skin of knee and palm. Tears stream in reverie as Charon works his way down the coast of the forgotten shore. His cowl rests listlessly over his sodden, sweat soaked crop of hair. Stopping, he eases......Read More

You never know what the future holds. Sitting, watching, waiting, looking out over the water as it slowly slides past in silk perfection; I did not know. The flat bottomed boat lightly taps against the water logged pillars of the small dock. The tapping sounds......Read More

Size Does Not Matter! Explicit Content

She was a little thing, a Private I think! I do not remember her name, I barely remember her face. It is funny how memories lose their grasp on my mind. My wife says I started to lose my memory when I return

The Last March of the XXXXX Ants Explicit Content
|
Walking through the guarded gate and onto my children’s school grounds, the impact of the 80mm and 120mm mo
rtars crashing to earth caused me to pause. When you couple this with the repetitive thrumming of the 50 caliber machine gun and the acoustics on the hill top, you feel as if......Read More
