20yrs ago I was about to ETS from the #USArmy in Germany after deploying to Tikrit, Iraq, #OIFII, with #1stInfantryDivision aka #BigRedOne. We had relieved #4thInfantryDivision the year prior, they found Saddam 13DEC03. (We were supposed to deploy* from Turkey in 2003, but nixed.)

Feeling sentimental, looking over my dad’s letters from Vietnam to his mother. Although he was the kinder, quieter version, my loathing of the govt and rebellion against its shit absolutely comes from him. 🥂 Proud to be his kid. #vietnamvet #armydaughter #4thinfantrydivision
