Joining the Navy at 18 then the Texas Army National Guard at 24 then the Army at age 27 changed the trajectory of my life! I learned so much about responsibility, selfless service, integrity, courage, leadership and much much much more.
I met some AMAZING people throughout my time serving, some of which I’m blessed to still have in my life today.
I am proud of serving this country, my country, and though I know that many I served with don’t necessarily agree with my political views I was and will always remain proud to have served with them. I think that’s important to mention. Because regardless of our differences it will never be able to erase the amazing memories we made while serving together. 😊
Being in the military changed my life, for the better. And if it weren’t for the military I would most likely not have gotten the stellar medical treatment I have continued to receive since first being diagnosed with cancer. Words will never be enough to express my gratitude.
Being a veteran does not make me or any of us that served better than those that didn’t. I know plenty who wanted to but simply weren’t able to. And I don’t believe any of us want (or expect) your “thank yous” but at the same time it’s nice to receive them. 😉
To all veterans, THANK YOU for your service. And to those I served with — It was an honor to do so.
Happy Veteran’s Day!
P.S. to God be the glory! 👏🏾
