About Me

I am a career soldier that has retired from the 233rd Military Police Company, Illinois Army National Guard after having served 34.5 years that included two combat tours. My military police unit was called to active duty in support of Operation Desert Storm in 1990-91. During that tour I was assigned to the VII Corps, 14th Military Police Brigade, 118th Military Police Battalion, Rhode Island Army National Guard. For that tour, I received the Southwest Asia Service Medal. My unit was once again ordered to active duty in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom I from 2003-04. I was assigned to the V Corps, 18th Military Police Brigade, 519th Military Police Battalion stationed out of Ft. Polk, Louisiana. I received the Iraqi Campaign Medal along with other valorous unit commendations for that period of service. My unit was the very first military police unit to march into Baghdad during the opening days of the war in Iraq.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet anyone. There are a lot of wonderful people in this world that I haven't met yet. I always welcome new friends to join my site. I believe that a person cannot have enough friends. I am certainly looking forward to welcoming new people and building more friendships.

Music:

I like all kinds of music with the exception of Rap and that screaming stuff that is hard to understand. What I really love is good ole country music because the songs always tell some kind of story. My favorite new artist is Jason Michael Carroll. Isn't he awesome!!!!!

Movies:

I enjoy war movies and comedies, especially the Vacation series with that hilarius Chevy Chase.

Television:

I don't watch that much televison since I spend more time on the computer. When I do have the time, I like to watch college basketball and football as well as pro football. I love the CMT and the History Channel so I'll watch those alot late at night.

Books:

I like reading books about U.S. History, ie, war books as well as local history. I enjoy reading music theory books as well.

Heroes:

The men and women who are serving in our armed forces abroad to insure our safety here at home. The firemen and policemen who put their lives in harms way everyday. Last but not least are all of those folks who read this and share the same thoughts. I salute them all as my heroes.
