I have received orders to Iraq. I leave for training in September and I'll be in Iraq by the New Year. When asked how I feel, I'm torn. I am excited and feel it’s about time. It’s my turn! I feel sad because of the worry I will cause my family. I am grateful for a family that is willing to sacrifice for me to serve and do what I believe is necessary. I am thrilled to finally be doing something that matters, at least to me.
Whatever may come of this adventure, just know that it is something that I feel compelled to do. It is what I want to do and because of this I feel selfish. I will be forever thankful to everyone that supports me and stands by my decision to serve in Iraq.
