Retired sergeant first class US Army, wounded warrior. Finally have time for my love of photography. My favorite genre is nature, wildlife and landscape. I have deployed to Bosnia/Kosovo and 3 combat tours in iraq as a combat engineer. Sapper qualified (an engineer equivalent to an infantry ranger) I served 27 years and have earned 2 Bronze stars for bravery and 7 purple hearts for wounds after being blown up by IEDs. One of which resulted in a traumatic brain injury.I would gladly do it all again. I enjoy my free time with my wife my horse and another passion of mine golf. I would love to hear from you with any ideas or criticism on my posts. If it does not offend any of you I would be happy to share pics of iraq. I know war is one thing people dont agree with but I think it's important that liberals and anti war protesters see what we do to give them their freedoms. I apologize if this offends anyone. But no one wants war especially a soldier.
