A Soldier’s Entity 

Looking back on the past years of my military career only makes me smile. It’s been a long, hard, rewarding experience. In my own opinion, I believe that everyone should serve for a few years out of his or her lifetime because the U.S. Army has been my mentor and I think that it could be a great mentor for someone else as well. It’s taught me how to live and live the right way.
The seven Army values have been introduced to me early on and I take pride in abiding by them every day. Those seven values are: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. This is the basic make- up of a Soldier and Soldier is what I am.
