David Hardt Column

Sep-21-2007 » Filed Under: 3/2 SBCT

Blog-Ah! has published its latest column from David Hardt, a soldier who served with the 3/2 SBCT in Iraq. In this edition he recounts his trip home. Excerpt:

So I said my good-byes, closed my computer, grabbed my assault pack, and then made my way out the door. But before I did, I looked back at the room and took a visual picture of the life I had lived there, because when I get home and things get rough, all I will have to do is close my eyes and remember that room, and I am sure I will snap out if it. I made my way up the stairs where everyone else was getting their stuff. We grabbed our bags and went to load them on the truck and then marched down to where we would sign out. And just like we left in the middle of night to come to Iraq, we would start our journey back through the thickness of darkness.
