When I was about Seven I had been bullied. But this time it was different they would grab me punch me in the face but that moment when your personal strength when you lose control. I raise my right hand and swing knocking him down I look at myself and run forgetting my book bag. I go home and sit in the room fustrated I remember myself screaming "why?" What had made me over come that to hit him. And I think. 

  I go to school the next day as the kid Troy that I hit came over to me I said "I didn't mean to I swear" he said "it's ok a lot of stuff was in my head yesterday and I toke it out on you I think I owe you an apology". Me and him shaked hands and walked away. He was later my college room mate we would become Bestfriends once we got into the military we were a squad with four others. 

  But first fire fight he was supporting our squad and I see a enemy aim at him from the sides it was a sniper I say "Troy move!" he can't here from all the sounds of rifles and explosions so I run at Troy and get down in front of him and take a bullet though the shoulder were his head was located luckily the bullet didn't go through he looks at me and say "why? Did you do that?"you remember back at school when I punched you on accident I returned the favor I start to black out they bring a medical helicopter and pick me up.as I doze off I hear him calling in the medics screaming "why?" 

  I got the Purple Heart and came back my to my team every one cheered and saluted me and said thank you. I gave a speech that night in shall never forget." My brothers and sisters I did some stuff I'm proud of and not proud of but what I did in my squad I never regret but the good thing is I'm still living and my best friend Cheif warrant officer Troy that now has a family to watch out for but I must also speak of my self I have two daughters both 5 years old Brittany and Taylor and the newest member my new son Shawn." As I talk tears rolling down my cheek like a waterfall as I walk away they applauded me and cheered Semper Fi! 

  I go over to my squad and say "Troy you used to be co-squad leader now you are the leader of this patch of rascals so lead them to victory". I said my good byes and left. 

  Me and Troy hang out every time he gets back my family and his usually hang out have a bonfire and have a great time.
