The friendships I created while serving are some of the most meaningful friendships I have this day. These friends that I have are more like family. I turn to them when I cant talk to anyone else. The experience and knowledge of what we all went through keeps me sane in some cases when I feel I have no one else to turn to. The comradery that we share is something I cant even really explain but I am very lucky to call some of these men and women my brother and sister.
