as lonely or hard as it may get

KFOR 11

in a couple more hours i'm leaving on a flight that will be the first of many for this deployment. 

This time it's going to be on a peacekeeping mission in a place where that appreciate American military presence


But i cant shake off the miserable feelings of when things were bad in Iraq

Things will be good regardless of how much shit comes our way.  My platoon is tough ready for any uncertainties that may come.
I will take care of my soldiers, and that will take care of me.
and before we know it, we'll be standing in formation @ a welcome home ceremony.
