I have spent the last two years trying to figure out what I did wrong, what I could have done to change the events of November 9, 2008 and even the beginnings and endings of my military career. It saddens me that even today with all this talk about taking care of the troops and our wounded warriors, that I am forgotten and many men and women like me are forgotten because our wounds didn't come from an enemy with a foriegn agenda or a religious cause....our wounds came from our own, the same people we were suppose to protect - each other. I still carry with me a lot of angry and bitterness. A lot of hurt and pain. I have yet to figure out what to do with all of it. I just wake up every morning hoping today will be better. But for all of you out there... all of you just like me... I remember you and I say a prayer and burn a candle and hope that justice will be served, peace will be made and hope will go on.
