Says you soldier. You're alive and still kicking while serving ain't ya? I was in Iraq for my 22nd birthday, so cheer up. If anything, you should push one of the guys and if they give you lip, say its your birthday. XD
I've spent 5 of the last 6 birthdays in either Iraq or Afghanistan... believe me, I know how 'fortunate' I supposedly am... but there's alot more to life than simply being alive. Not trying to be emo or some shite, but today is no happy day for me.
I signed up when I was 16, went to basic and AIT during summer breaks in high school, and deployed after graduating. Been bouncing out to the big M.E. ever since.
Hey man, The picture pretty much sums it up nicely.
Words are somewhat meaningless and sentiments across the electrons carry little weight, but I would happily sit with you and endure just to say that I appreicate what you're putting yourself through.
Well; regardless of it; happy Birthday, bro. Getting a year older is something most look forward to, even if it's stuck in a sucky place like you are, but hopefully you will celebrate big-time when you hit American soil.
The only thing I'm doing after hitting the tarmac back home is stopping by the local Class Six, picking up two bottles of Jameson and forgetting the last year ever happened.
Just know that some of us wish your birthday to be happy, even if it isn't. I am with Kaltezar, though, in wishing that I could spend this day with you and brighten it up for you, even if it would mean being over there.
