Seven Years and a Day.

It has been seven years and one day since I entered Iraq.

And I'm still exhausted....

I saw my first dead body on March 22, 2003.

Sometimes It's hard to remember.

when I say it's hard to remember, I don't mean that It's hard to remember.

All I have to do is fall asleep, and I will relive it in my dreams.

or smell the smell of burning flesh,

or feel the desert wind blow across my face.

You can find a memory in just about anything.

and don't worry,

they aren't always negative memories.

sometimes they are good.

When I say it's hard to remember, I don't mean that it's actually hard

I mean it just brings up hard feelings.
