My Dad made six figures as a Beer Distributor.
I attended private Catholic schools most of my life.
I received a full 4 year R.O.T.C. scholarship from the U.S. Air Force to attend Parks College in Cahokia, Illiniois.
I am for all intents and purposes.
A Silver spooned brat.
I don't meet any of your criteria, yet I served in OIF; as part of an expeditionary force in combat service support.
It was my PRIVILEGE to serve in the Military...it is NOT a right it is a PRIVILEGE to serve.
These are the finest folks the U.S. has to offer...trust me on this; it was my Honor to be a part of that team.
