I am a Former Marine, Retired. I spent a total of almost 4 years in a combat zone (OEF/OIF) After which i was injured in the invasion of Ramadi, and forced retired by an administration that considered Experienced "in-country" combat veterans like myself and many others to be a "liability" to conduct any further operations in this war. (we knew too much)
After being forced out of my career, I found myself with no hope, depressed, and like a retired race horse put out to pasture waiting for the glue factory. I found a light in my passion for cars, but lacked the desire to begin. That's where men and women like you came into play. I needed like-minded people to pick me up and show me I still had something to live for, and still had a mission to accomplish. Groups like this help me move forward, and I hope to meet more great people on this site, without this or you guys, I am nothing but a warn out grunt. So, from my heart thank you all! Semper Fidelis
