Some would wonder about roots, yet they are as deep and strong as the mighty oak. I sink them quickly, absorbing all an area offers and hopefully, giving enrichment in return.<br \/>Travel has taught me to be open. Shaking hands with the universe, I find brotherhood in all men. Farewells are never easy. Even in sorrow comes strength and ability to face tomorrow with anticipation&#8230;if when we leave one place, I feel that half my world is left behind, I also know that the other half is waiting to be met.<br \/>Friendships are formed in hours and kept for decades. I will never grow up with someone, but I will mature with many. Be it inevitable that paths part, there is constant hope that they will meet again.<br \/>Love of country, respect, and pride fill my being when Old Glory passes in review. When I stand to honor that flag, so also do I stand in honor of all soldiers, and most especially, to the parents whose life created mine: because of this, I have shared in the rich Heritage of Military Life.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element
