This Memorial Day, we took a look back at how the U.S. soldier has evolved over the years. Did you know camouflage wasn’t introduced until the end of World War II?

See these people? They’re my best friends. I spent more time with them than i did with pretty much anyone else. I wouldnt be who i am if they werent in my life. My taste in music, clothes, movies, etc. would be completely different. I know it seems like my life is based off of them, but it isnt. They have just helped shape me into the person i am today. Without them i wouldnt of been able to handle my moms death as well as i did and have been able to even with some other things that were happening at the time. We have NEVER lost sight of our friendship with one another. They make living in Greeneville bareable even though that town is shitty. We have fun doing the most random of things and being the most random we can possibly be. Even though we are a very fun and outgoing group of people, there isnt anyone else id rather go to for advice or moral support then these 5 individuals.

Ashleigh-Shes spunky. At times we pick on her due to her being that of short stature :),but she knows its all in good fun. When you need a friend to help you out of a bind, shes a go to person. She doesnt ask questions she just comes and helps. I dont know how many times i have had her and Brittany help me out when i ran utta gas and i have paid them back for it. Her honesty and loyalty make her one amazing individual. At times i thought she would never speak to me or want to stay friends but she nevr held a grudge against me. I love her for that cos i am very very happy to have her as my best friend :D

Brittany-Shes the motherly figure of our group. She is always the one who tends to be more responsible which is good for us cos we need her. Wed fall apart without her. Her adivce is unlike any other cos shes more brutaly honest than anyone else that i know…well next to Megan xD If you need a shoulder to cry on, Brittanys a good person for that. She shows great compassion for people even if they have pissed her off. Shell let you know about it first but if she sees that you really need her and have no one else, shell stnad there with her arms open to give you that comfort hug. At least thats how i have seen her be with Jessie and Ashleigh. I love this girl to pieces and i am very glad to call her my best friend :D

Dustin-now this guy… this guy is just weird, but i love him nonetheless. He and i became i would say best friends during my senior year of highschool. We hung out very often. I even brought him ramen when he said he was hungry. No it wasnt cooked it was still in its package haha. He is a very ecletic person. His taste in music and movies is open to numerous things. Altough he loves Sublime, The Walking Dead, & The Boondock Saints more than most. Hes a very sweet person and hes great for a laugh or 20 xD I hope i never lose this friendship, which im sure wont happen cos hes marrying Ashleigh :D

Megan-My little sister. I have watched her grow up into the beautiful young woman she is today. Though at times she has been incredibly stubborn, rude, mean, somewhat obnoxious, and given off her ” i dont care-go away” attitude, shes come out with her caring side. Yeah i was shocked it was there too.. Guess it was just lodged deep down in there haha jk. She may not be blood related to me, but she is part of my family. I love her honesty and her i am who i am persona. Her randomness makes for good late night laugh fests. she can be sweet when she wants. I dont know what i would do without her. Shes the best little sister, along with Drue, that i could of ever asked for. I wouldnt trade her for 100 tacos. Which says alot considering we love tacos. Thus, shes my best friend :D

Jessie-Ha, now where do i begin with this one right here? Hmmm….. Whats it been i think about 11 or 12 years now that she and i have been best friends. Seems like it was yesterday we were in 4th grade and i sat next to her and sad hi cos i felt like it and she was by herself. Who knew that it would develop into the strong knit friendship that has led into us being family. Compassion, honesty, love, loyalty, randomness, weirdness, and blunt opinions. Shes full of al of them. When she is truly passionate for or about something she puts all shes got into it whether its what some else likes or not. Shes honest. She may not think so but shes alot more honest then she gives her self credit for being. Randomness NEVER fails when you are with her. “Hey kids, if you eat a falling star youll turn itno a bird” I cant tell you about all the night we have stayed up talking or laughing about the most random of things. Dont ler her fool you shes down right hilarious. She is just very good at hiding it xD She and i have been through some pretty thick times that would have torn apart most friendships entirely, but not ours. The most anythign has done was make us not talk for a little while, but in the end we have always come back to each other because thats what friends do. We never let things come in between us cos thats just no bueno. I woudlnt of been able to handle my mom passing away if it wasnt for her. Even though at that time we werent quite talking ot one another she was still there for me reguardless. I was there for her from day one after her wreck with one of our best friends who unfortunately passed on. Its been rough for her but i see her strengthen every day. Sure she breaks down sometimes, but shes human. Her heart is so big and its been put through so much torment, but she hasnt let that phase her out of being who she is. I never expected to become such great friends with someone that even their family adopts me as part of them. Her mom and dad are my parents and i call them so. Theyve wached us grow up into the young women we are today. Without her i know i wouldnt be who i am. I wouldnt like or know half of anything i do. She is the best influence on my life. I thank God that he has given me such a strong girl to be by my side even if i am on the other side of the country. We have surpassed best friends. She is my sister. I love her to the moon and back. Always & Forever!

There you have it. The 5 People that make me who i am. That have been helping make life worht living every day. I wish i could be with them right now. i miss them and home so bad i cant even begin to tell you. Not to mention, im sure they all want to meet thier nephew something bad! ^___^

Basically, i just want to say thank you Jessie, Ashleigh, Brittany, Dustin, & Megan. Thank you for putting up with me when im prettty sure you didnt want to and for always being there when i needed/need someone. I wouldnt be able to make it in this world if i didnt have you guys backing me up. You are a true blessing and i am beyond thankful that i have all of you to call my best friends. I Love You!!!!
