Before I left for Germany I had gotten accepted to the performing arts high school in New York which was a big dream of mine. And having to leave that was very sad for me.
I suppose in a way this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters I've done wearing it. When the time comes it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American and a soldier?
