Active Military/ Veteran Suicide Introduction Service members put their lives on the line daily for us. Stationed overseas they endure strenuous situations, most life changing.

My childhood was spent growing up on military bases, with constantly moving from state to state and long periods of time without seeing my father. I saw myself growing up and becoming a military solider. Now, as an adult that has no ties to the military, I see myself as a civilian man doing what it takes to provide…

The Greeks and the Romans had to prove themselves by killing each other and taking each other’s armor as a trophy. We don’t have armor to steal from each other so we don’t get the satisfaction of killing someone like the Greeks and Romans did. This is where Thomas Jefferson was wrong there are different morals we have…

My personal values are derived from my experiences as a youth, my transition into an adult and my decision to join the armed forces. I joined the military right out of high school, and it didn’t take long for the Army to mold me into a Soldier.
