Picture Story

When I was called by the Army last Spring, they told me that I had to fly out to Afghanistan and map out areas in which American troops would be able to stay safely.  As I was walking around with my equipment, all of a sudden I was being fired at by Afghanistan troops.  My adrenaline started to rush, I didn't know what to do except run for my life.  I had to get away as fast as possible.  The ground wasn't that sturdy considering it was right by a creek with an enormous amount of sticks and branches, they were an obstacle.  I finally reached a safe ground where other members of the troops were staying.  I told them all about what happened.  A few months later, I was allowed to go home, I was surfing the web as I came across a picture of me.  I knew exactly what I was running from in the picture.  I look back now and thank God that nothing happened to me.  But it was quite the experience.
