AGE 26 HOMETOWN East Los Angeles, California BRANCH Army CURRENT OCCUPATION Construction worker NOTABLE SERVICE Served 14 consecutive months in Iraq ENLISTED at 17 to get insurance for his child Going to Iraq was scary at first. And then you know, the military kicks in, and you think about everything that you've learned and it's time to go. You get back here and people just want to talk about [whether] you think Bush is doing the right thing. And they start hounding you instead of just leaving you alone. We don't really want to talk about it if we're not there anymore. I don't see my role in America any differently than before I left. I knew what I was signing up for. They called me up and I went. I'm more grateful for the things that we do have, being over there and seeing what they have over therereally nothingthen coming over here and seeing how much we take for granted.
