My daughter inquired about what I did in the military and I showed her the guns I shot and vehicles I drove. Then I asked her if she wanted to see where her youngest brothers middle name came from. I showed her the special features of the movie Taking Chance. I have only made it through the movie once over the years with a copious amount of alcohol as help.(most tries I don't think it helped). She sat and watched and my eyes teared up. She would ask a question and I could not prevent my voice from breaking. We went to his grave site last summer but she had never actually seen who he was. He was someone I should not have been friends with because I was an NCO. We had so many new guys that they were bunked up with Corporals and Sergeants. I was watching Jerimiah Johnson one day and he walked through the head(a shared bathroom between rooms). He knew exactly what I was watching. Who could be mad at a boot(new guy) that just walked into an Nco's room that knew from a few phrases that I was watching Jeremiah Johnson. The guy that talks the most was someone that I hate. He was someone that Phelps absolutely hated. Anyways everyone should watch the movie if they have not already.
