to her.finally, she agreed to go on a date with me, and first date,first kiss. soon after, robert enlisted andjoined the marine corp. we averaged 6-10 ied strikesevery mission. my truck alone hit five ieds.the first one destroyed the front end, nobody was hurt.robert was lucky to escape three more ied attacks, but his luckeventually ran out. the fifth ied strike was the onethat injured me. the injuries were serious.diagnosis: vertebrae compression

fracture, traumatic braininjury, and post-traumatic stress disorder.the incident did not go unnoticed back home.i actually had a dream and i saw it, and what happened was, ifelt it. wow.i'm alive and i have all my limbs.i feel very very blessed. now it's time for us, atdesigning spaces to give back to robert and his family.with the help of the gunny, we'll transform their home andgive it a serious upgrade.
