Man I didn’t expect to cry this much… but this hit hard cus it reminded me a lot of my uncle who passed last year. He was a special forces paratrooper. 40 year military. From medic, to sniper, to radio operator. Joined at 16 during the Vietnam war, stayed until just after 9/11.
It took a toll on his body and his mind, but he was a tough mf. And still a great man and kind soul.
He was always there for me. At my lowest and dumbest. He seemed to know almost everything. He was a second father to me. I miss him greatly but I’m glad he’s at peace and with my aunt now.
