You would think being in the Army is scary. It can be fun riding in helicopters. Wars ARE scary.
Shooting your first enemy or when your gun jams in a combat mission and your combat buddy dies. But if you believe in God and have faith it's not so scary. Well, it might be scary but God will help you through it.
Our first president, George Washington, went to war. Our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, was murdered at a play with his wife and he was in charge of the civil war and freed the slaves.
My aunt and uncle are in the Army. My Uncle Jake is an MP (Military Police) and my Aunt Michelle is a mechanic. Uncle Jake is going down range soon and my whole family is going to be praying for him everyday. Aunt Michelle is going to have a baby in August. I sure hope it is a boy. Uncle Jake is going get to come home for two weeks when the baby is born.
I sure hope Uncle Jake is not scared when he is down range.
