NarrativeGary's career spans over 20 years of faithful service to his county. He never joined with the intention of making it a career. He served in 8 different units over the 20 years. Always serving in a Field Artillery unit doing the job he joined to do. Over the years he made a lot of friends (buddies) that are still friends (buddies) today. Even in retirement from the US Army, he still believes in its values and beliefs. He is still a soldier at heart. | |
