“GROWING UP, I learned a healthy respect for the United States Military because of my dad and my brother. My dad had been drafted during the Korean conflict, though he never deployed. I remember my mom using his old “o.d. green” Army laundry bag for our laundry when I was very young. He used to love old war movies, and my brother and I would watch them with him….My brother and I played “Army” all the time as kids. He always outranked me. We were always in World War II. We were always the Americans: saving ourselves, our platoon, our battalion, our country. We spent many hours in make-believe battles, and we always won ’cause we were the good guys!…”
