re: What motivated you to join the military?

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was going into my Sophmore year of college at Kent State University. I had been in school for about 2 weeks when September 11, 2001 happened. I remember thinking that this was something profound and life altering. Sept 11, 2001 was going to be another day "That lives in infamy" just like Pearl Harbor. This was bigger then me, this was going to be more significant then anything I would learn at Kent State....of all places! I withdrew from school 6 days later and enlisted in the U.S. Army in September of 2001. I served in Iraq in 03'-04' for a period of 15 months. To this day, serving my country is the proudest thing I have ever done in my life. I will never forget the events that led up to my enlisting in the military.

GO ARMY....beat navy!!
