The author grew up in a small rural town in North Carolina. The author faced all type of disadvantages as a child, as a youth and a young adult. The author chose to turn those disadvantages into a positive; to allow them to push him toward a better life, better circumstances and a better situation. The author joined the military at 17 not really ready to be a man but the army forced him to grow up. I enjoyed the journey I relished the opportunities to see other countries; places that I had only dreamed about or read from a magazine or picture book. The authors viewpoint grew so much from that small rural town that he was raised in. The author is overjoyed with the opportunity to share his experience with the reader and with the world. The author has been married for 25 years to a wonderful woman and who is the mother of my four kids and is enjoying family life. The author has faced tragedy turmoil and all manners of horrific situations but most importantly I am still standing.
