Served as Rifleman for 3/7 on two Iraq deployments. Initial Iraq invasion/Karbala and Al Qaim Province. Wounded by IED blast in June 2004. I proudly served with some tremendous indiviuals who's lives were lost in vain. Was medically discharged from wounds. Utilized VA Vocational Rehab to complete bachelor's Degree in Business Management and will use GI Bill for Graduate Studies. I am a strong opponent of not only the War In Iraq but of the "War On Terror", and the overall military industrial complex our nation is gripped in. Our government uses fear and intimidation of the masses to scare our citizens in relenting their civil rights. It is my committment to educate future Americans and to help restore our democracy from the Neo-Con Plutocracy that has America by the windpipe.
