I am a medically retired army vet. I got injured in 2005 and finished out my tour in Iraq anyway. After staying there a year, I came home to Fort Campbell and the army worked on me for over a year before deciding to let me out on medical retirement. My drive to stay in the fight cost me my body. If I would have came home there was a better chance of fixing the things wrong with me, but fighting for another 10 months after the injuries caused my body to heal wrong and now I will suffer from it. I signed up knowing what could happen so I have no complaints. They take care of me. Now I live in knoxville TN and I am going back to school so I can start working again. I will do personal salutes to friends if asked, but only if they do one back in return. If done though it will be kept in a private folder.
