I have been slowly working on chapters while I deal with depression. It been hard for me because while many celebrate Vets Day I find I reflect on a lot of friends I have lost over the years to way and their own demons (Suicide) I start missing them and have very few friends (Still alive) who have lived what I have to talk to.
I am going to set this to full open response.

Soldiers Creed
I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team.
I serve the people of the United States and live the Army values.
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my Warrior tasks and drills.
I always maintain my arms, my equipment, and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I am an American Soldier.
And I am tired.
I am going to set this to full open response.
