Country-southern

I'm 23, southern, a veteran, and always available to talk.

This is the time of my life I'll miss. I was hot, tired, pissed off, and had just walked all day in the 130° heat. I flipped the camera off, because I was all of these things above. But inside I was happy. I'd made it through the day without being blown up, shot, or broken. I was free to finish the mission the next day because I was healthy and I had men who had my back. They kept my ass safe and they are the reason I'm home here in Tennessee. I miss this on a daily basis. Nothing can compare to it. I'm lost here at home. Over there I wasn't. I had purpose and the will to fight for the man to my left and right. Here I'm alone in my battles. And it sucks.

Lookin outside tonight. I have to say still to this day the most beautiful night sky I've ever seen was in Afghanistan. No city lights, no interruptions, just full on stars and moon. Shows that even in war riddled places, there is beauty to be found. Same with women, a tortured soul doesn't take away from the incredible awe of a woman's glow. Remember that fellas. She may have you at the end of your rope, but there is always that extremely beautiful part of her that made you fall in love in the beginning. Find that again and you'll find peace.

Found this beautiful young lady while dropping my nieces off at their house. Was able to reach her owner and get her back to her home! Glad she gets to sleep inside during these Tennessee storms. If there is one thing grunts love besides family, country, and god... It's a beautiful pup!

In this gut-wrenching talk, Sergeant Andrew Chambers shares the haunting story of his time in Iraq and the tough transition home that landed him in jail. It’s a powerful testimony to the struggle our soldiers face when they come home, and the tragic ways that they can be denied the help they need. 

For any veterans who need help, you can find a list of resources here. Among them, the Wounded Warrior Project does outstanding work with wounded vets. 

For anyone looking to support a veteran, we encourage you to heed Chambers’ advice: "Find a veteran and listen to his story. A lot of us just need somebody to talk to." 

Watch the full talk here.

Happy Veteran’s Day.

Jesus Christ, what is wrong with us?

This made my heart hurt.

Hits close to home. A lot of us are treated like monsters. But at the same time we are human beings that are screaming for help. Listen to people when they need help, it could do more than you could ever expect.
