In the Warrior Ethos it talks about “I will never leave a fallen comrade…” I don’t think those words apply only to the battlefield. That’s an oath we took, a promise we made to each other. I don’t want to leave a fallen comrade behind now that we’re home. If my experiences can help someone else then that’s what I want to do.

Well, here goes…

I’ve got to be honest with you. A few months ago I didn’t even know what a “blog” was. I’d heard the term but was clueless. It seems in today’s world information and technology moves and changes so fast that it’s impossible to keep up. Eating an ice cream sandwich from the chow hall in the middle of an Iraqi summer without spilling a single drop might seem easier.

"Flags of Our Fathers"

I just saw this great special on HBO. It was the making of "Flags of Our Fathers". I don't know if you've seen this movie or not. If you haven't and you like movies about wars or just World War 2 in particular, it is a must-see. It deals a lot with some of the difficulties some soldiers have in coming home after the war. Their situation was pretty extreme though.

To You Civilians (Intro continued)....

Well, it’s been a couple of weeks (and a lesson in “Blogging”) and I have decided to write a “continuance” to my first entry…another intro to the blog. I tried to make it clear what the blog was going to be about, unfortunately, I only pointed to one side of the story. I am a combination of confused and frustrated but stay with me here. I want to help everyone “see the story”.

About Kevin Underwood

I went to Iraq in November 2004. I don’t hesitate to say that before I left, I had the world by the balls (or I thought I did). I had a great family life, I had a great job, made great money. I lived a life that was envied by others. I am most definitely not bragging. I was blessed with a good life.
