    Did you know the Navy is the only branch where you get to pick your job and what you want to do for that branch? Also there are sometimes in the Navy where it takes about 4 months or even more to get to where they needed to be in order to fight. I did not know a lot of those facts until I decided to interview my cousin, Griffin. He has recently just stopped serving in the military because he never gets to see his family. He missed his little kids and his wife named Brittney. His kids are all young, and he has three boys and one girl. His…

    The Vietnam Veteran I interviewed was my grandfather; he was 27 years old during the time of the war.

My grandfather only served one tour, because he wanted to go home to his family. So, his younger brother Rick who was single volunteered to go to Vietnam.

    The first thing I talked to Aron about was his high school experience. Aron mentioned that he attended Patrick Henry high school in Minneapolis. he talked to me about his goals and said that he actually wanted to go into the air force to be a pilot. He unfortunately was not able to pursue that goal because his grades of B’s and C’s wouldn't cut it. Later he also found out you can't have any medical conditions such as asthma to join the military. I talked to Aron about setbacks and a few of them happened in high school. His first setback was not finishing high school do to family issues that he didn't feel comfortable sharing. He also didn't go on to college and said “My biggest regret was not going to college because I could be in a better position at work and a better example for my daughter.”…

    Welcome to the blue collar city of Buffalo, New York. I find myself in my great Uncle Wills old brick home in the center of South Buffalo. The house has the familiar smell of old people, in the foyer are a pair of work boots the leather old and worn, the soles nearly depleted. A layer of dust has formed on the boots that have remained untouched for decades. As I move closer to the kitchen I can hear the recognizable sound of stainless steel clinking on ceramic, the rhythmic noise can only be one thing; Uncle Will’s stirring his ever present cup of joe. I know this interview is going to take a bit so I head to the fridge to find a cold beverage. Inside the fridge, prune juice I thought “ugh”, tap water will do.…

    Coming into the project I was looking forward to interviewing a veteran, at first I really wanted to interview a World War Two veteran. I thought it would be very cool to sit down and hear an untold story of a true American hero that fought in one of the most memorable, and one of my favorite wars. But as I continued to search for a World War Two veteran I couldn’t find one so I joined groups with Tyler, Jose, and Mauricio. They had then told me that we would be interviewing Tyler’s stepdad, who was currently enlisted. Of course my dream of interviewing a word war two veteran was tossed out of the window. Then I had thought about it and to hear the story of a national hero that is serving in the War on Terror currently would be pretty cool. Although I didn’t get my World War Two veteran, I was still pretty stoked about hearing our veteran’s story.…

    Ever since I was little, I’ve always had a fascination with being a soldier. The idea of a soldier, tall, strong, and proud, was the example I always compared myself to in my mind’s eye. Whatever I did, I asked myself the question, “is this how a soldier would act?” Once I learned more about the military, and the Service Academies, I realized that this may be the right path for me.…

How do they cope with the separations due to deployments, changes in schools, leaving their friends behind, starting a new social circle someplace in the world, divorce, culture shocks, language barriers, and career choices? No one would know better but a child who grew up wrapped around the military’s tight grip. I was one of these children. We are referred to as military brats; a moniker I am not really crazy…
