I am
from the land filled with loving Wisconsinites and family packed of cheese heads,
from lovers of freedom, honor, and respect.

I am
from the colonial revival with fields of turf for play dates,
from lemonade stands on the street corner with the familiar friends.

I am
from becoming one with the environment to sleeping with the stars,
from the deep scars of loved ones lost to the simplest of mishaps.

I am
from a military past, riddled with bullets,
from a future of protecting the skies.

I am
a friend,
a adventurer,
a soldier,
with a unbreakable passion for what I do.
