I never saw any combat, but I'm proud that I served four years in the United States Marines.
Although I was college prep all through high school, the thought of four or more years of schooling bored me to tears. I graduated high school six months early and with nothing to do I joined the Marines. Both my father and my grandfather were Marines (both died in combat), so the Marines was the way to go for me.
The Marines changed my life. I went from a skinny kid with no self confidence to a young man who was ready to take on the world - and go to war if needed.
I think that everyone should serve at least a few years in the military. It will change the way they look at life.
If you served in combat... I salute you.
