Dec 2017
I spent 5 years of my life in the US Army
I got to travel around the United states during my time
I also traveled in Europe and Asia
My trip started in New York City
I then traveled to New Jersey and Maryland
My next stop was in Oklahoma
I then found myself in Germany and Italy
From there I went to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
Iraq was my hardest stop of all
I have been in battle, I mean war
I lived my life in fear
My mind was never so clear
My trip of life ended in California
These were great years of my life
I wouldn't change a thing about time in the US Army
Military life was good to me
