I was on duty on 9/11 at HQMC, near the Pentagon, and responded to that location to try and lend a hand if needed...

What do you like about this subject?

I enjoy helping people learn more about what the military does, and how they wear uniforms, customs, traditons, and general information!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I try to learn something new every day. I've been studying this stuff since I was 9 years old!

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

You can tell pretty much where and when a military member served by 'reading' the ribbons they wear!

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Lots of people claim to have seen combat in various wars....those claiming to have Medals of Honor should be checked out..the internet is an easy place to do it!
