Deployment Ceremony
As the ceremony commenced with my family watching I could not help but feel the excitement build, but Why? Why did the thought of going to war excite me? Leaving behind family had never seemed so easy. As the National Anthem played I wondered if someone in the formation of 400 would not return or could it be me? And if I did return and one of my fellow soldiers did not would I feel guilty? As I looked out over the crowd I saw tears flow. Would we all come back home?
