You never stopped; you put the freedom of others before yourself. The focus it takes to be in the military can be hard to obtain, and that's why we all thank you.

Thank you for serving our country. I can't imagine the adversity you have had to overcome. I know personally that it can affect someone mentally and physically, and you most likely went into the U.S Army knowing that. Thank you for you bravery and strength. You have seen things that no one will ever see in their lifetime, and that is crazy to me. Thank you for serving once again.

The mental preparation and the changes you go through takes a lot to overcome. That's why I thank you, Mr. Johnson, for being there and risking all you had for the greater good of the country.]]> 2020-11-12 18:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/houghe1/uj2e5wzcjmwjx9s2/wish/917817329
