"Re-Upping"
An American Soldier:
If I am able to get out of the Reserves later this year, I am thinking about the idea of re-upping. However not in the Reserves, I am thinking of joining a Special Forces Group that is near me. However that entails joining the National Guard.[...]
I know my resource can be used to help people.
My wife came to me after and asked me if I watched the video. I acknowledged her and she said: "You should just go, why don't you go back and help those people. Make it so people don't have to get killed anymore!" I just looked back at her and felt a sense of peace that I could go again and she would be ok. She would be ok because she knew I was helping people. She knows the consequences but yet she knows that no matter what, I would be helping, even if it was one person from not getting killed like that again.
So folks, with that said. I have placed a call with the person I would need to talk to.
Some people go through their entire life to try and find the reason for their existence. It was in that instance yesterday that I knew what mine was.
