Backwards hat displaying his favorite team. 

Camouflage blowing in the breeze. 

Desert wind whipping stars and stripes into a fury. 

Tortured holidays spent away from home. 

A ration of turkey will have to do. 

X tattoo on his upper arm. 

A shaky faith in God. 

A devil who feels more real. 

Babies born thousands of miles away. 

Time through an hourglass like sand.

Plenty to go around.

A mission.

Another deployment.

Very few questions asked.

Because the country asked.

Thanks for entering my world,
