Kelly's Hero
El Paso, Texas, United States
 
 
I was born on the 9th of March 1901. My military career started in the middle of high school where I was drafted into the United States Army. After brief training I saw my first combat with the American Expeditionary Force - Doughboys in Verdun and some other combate places in France.

After some weeks of combat. World War 1 ended and I went back to High School again. I graduated and got a job in the local factory. There is where I first meet Kelly.

Soon after we meet got married, but our happines shouldn't last long. I was drafted back to the US Army when World War 2 started, since they need soldiers that have seen combat and could lead young inexperienced man into battle. I've seen combat in Europe and in the Pacific. As i was part of the Marines, since they needed a supervisor. I've seen many soldier getting killed on both sides, but I was determined to come back to Kelly.

Finally, I returned shortly after World War 2 has ended and I thought I could live and die with the girl I loved and missed during the days in of both war's.

But I was wrong. In the middle of the Cold War I was drafted back in the army again in 1960. Where I yet again should lead yound inexperienced man into battle. Now I'm here in the jungle trying to stay alive and to come back to the girl I love. A girl named Kelly.
