Specialist John Dorman in 1973 when I told my mother I have decided to join the U.S. Army “My mother was so upset at me. But it was something that I felt I needed to do. I was attracted to the military having grown up during the Vietnam War and seeing news clips of the war on TV. I have no regrets. In fact, one of my proudest accomplishments is finishing my military career as a Medical Specialist with the 801 st General Hospital at Fort Sheridan…

Thank a Veteran for Your Freedom It’s a bitter pill to swallow, upon returning to the great USA, we the veterans are immersed in a largely unsupportive social environment where few have any real understanding or empathy for what it is like to risking our life every day, and watching our friends and colleagues die, without much value being placed on that sacrifice,, by our fellow citizens. I can sadly remember the Jane Fonda era,we were called baby killers then

American Pride The American Soldier has made so many sacrifices in the past to create a better and brighter future for us all. By seeing a service member wearing a proud military medal, it shows the highlights of their career. This is what drives some of us to join the military and serve our country as a proud and honorable troop.

In order to be successful in the Army, you must learn to work as a team, and you must learn to be a good leader. I enjoy working as a team, and I enjoy being a leader. When you accomplish a mission, it is such a wonderful feeling, and you feel so proud to be a part of the Army
30
Making the decision to join the military can be a difficult one, looking back on 15 plus years of service in the United States Army; I hope to inspire young men and women considering a career in the Armed Forces with reflections on my career to this point. “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. Being exploited by your siblings is much worse.

I grew up in the small town of Vieux Fort,Saint Lucia and never thought I would join the military, much less end up going to college. The army experience has been great. While there are numerous recruiting videos showing all the benefits that the Army can provide you, the Army has truly provided me with opportunities that I would have never imagined. Educationally, the Army allowed me the opportunity to earn a college Education that paid dividends for me.

Proud to be an American As a teenager I can remember these words, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country..." Long before I knew who I was I felt I owed something to this great nation. Born in Vieux Fort St. Lucia, under unusual conditions, exploited somehow by my brother Jack, Fatherless and semi-motherless at the time.In 1973 America was seeking for a few brave men to defend the American way of life.In a New York second I joined the Army.

I completed college,invested wisely in America made a small fortune currently am basking in paradise Saint Lucia..God Bless America
