Living the life of military is different and challenging.  There is no &amp;quot;gray&amp;quot; to the military.  You either like it or you don't.  You can like certain things about it but you can hate the &amp;quot;at the cost of..&amp;quot;  I enjoyed the U.S.M.C but at what cost, my life?  People worrying about me.  Some say yeah but look, if you die your family gets 250,000 or what is it now 400,000?  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?  Me personally I dont want to die but it's better than saying, &amp;quot;hey sign up to fight for your country with no perks to offer.&amp;quot;  I was in for four years, deployed 3 times and have been to several different countries.  I got out a Sergeant at the age of 25.  The friends I have left behind are amazing though.  The bond is nothing like I've ever experienced in my life.  There's something about going to war with someone more or less your age, knowing your in the same situation and you're looking out for each other.  You can't forget that!  Family wait on their loved ones at home wondering, hope they're ok?  Why hasn't he/she written me yet?  Spouses stay with the kids or at home with no kids, living their daily lives keeping in their minds that hopefully, they'll see their significant other soon enough.  Ever had or have these feelings?  I'm a 25 year old U.S veteran.  I was in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.  I was in the Memorial Day parade of May 2005 in Glendale Queens, N.Y with the VFW members and as I was walking down Myrtle Avenue, I saw this lady sitting in a lawn chair.  She was not smiling and she was not clapping but she was there for a reason!  I couldn't figure out why she was just sitting there looking at us with this bland look on her face.  Monotone I thought.  I look again (ATTENTION TO DETAIL) and I see this big picture of (I assume was her son) in his dress blues (U.S.M.C garrison uniform).  I knew that picture right away because I have the same one, with the same background.  It was the picture every Marine gets in the middle stage of boot camp right before they graduate, where from the waist up is dress blues, but what nobody knows is that from the waste down you're probably wearing sneakers (go fasters) and your nasty, dingy, dirty boot camp cammouflage utilities.  Anyway, that lady sitting in that lawn chair, with that big picture of that proud Marine was mourning her son (I dont know if it was her son or not) but I felt it.  I/we knew why she was there!  God Bless those who fall and all who fell!  Semper Fidelis &lt;p&gt; &lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-519528261556382448&amp;page=RSS%3a+The+United+States+Marine+Corps+at+a+glance.&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=rafaelfigueroa.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=rafaelfigueroa"&gt;</description><comments>http://rafaelfigueroa.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!F8CA43CC7727D510!170.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://rafaelfigueroa.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!F8CA43CC7727D510!170.entry</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jun 2005 18:09:11 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://rafaelfigueroa.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F8CA43CC7727D510!170/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://rafaelfigueroa.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!F8CA43CC7727D510!170.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2005-06-06T18:47:47Z</dcterms:modified></item></channel></rss>
