Now Playing: When I'm Gone by 3 Doors Down
Hey ya'll ll, this is my first time using this site, so bear with me if it isn't perfect. I'm a southerner, and I live in coastal North Carolina. I live within an hour's drive of MCAS Cherry Point, MCB Camp Lejuene, ,and MCAS New River. So my economy is pretty based on the military's input. I live on a road where I see the troops that are going from Lejuene to Cherry Point to get deployed by plane. And I see them come home. But a lot of times those buses are empty. Now, currently I know a guy from Cherry Point in Al Asad, Iraq. He's in a Harrier based squadron,(VMA-223) so he's not really in the direct line of fighting. And another guy I have real strong feelings for is home right now aftera a 7 month deployment. Yeah, it's tough, and there's times when you cry all day. But you make it through. Now, I know some of ya'll prob'ly don't agree, but I think every person that goes over there is making a huge sacrifice. I say this from experience on what it's like for us back home. The simplest thing would get me crying. A song, a word, a phrase, an accent, but you dry your tears and get on wiht you day, knowing that if they can, you can too. Today is Halloween, and also DJ's birthday. I'm just glad he's home to celebrate it, instead of dead, or still in Iraq.
