August 2 1990, as I spent the day off for my birthday (which the Army gives you off). I turned on CNN news. The headlines
Iraq invades Kuwiat. At that very moment my heart sunk deep into my chest as I watched. I turned to my friends wife and told
her Fort Sill units would go. She said no way you guys are going, you'll are training units, there's no way. Anyway you have
a profile against wearing a helmet, you won't have to go. Wanna make a bet I go.
