I Am What You Are.

Woody and I got a pretty suite view of the Redskins game today thanks to the Yellow Ribbon Fund. Met some friendly people there, too. Dunno who invited them, though.

Blow ‘em back 'till I lose count. (at New York, Central Park)

I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my ghosts
Searching for something, I couldn’t find at home (at Brooklyn Bridge)

Wash the sorrow from off my skin. Show me how to be whole again. (at One World Trade Center)

Today on my last day in Monterey I got recognized by my company for persevering and staying positive and (as best as possible) beating cancer so far throughout this ordeal that has been the last six months since my diagnosis. It hasn’t been an easy year so far. I’ve lost my physical fitness and capabilities, I’ve lost my hair, and I’ve at times lost my drive. But I have healed amazingly well all things considered. But as remarkably well as I have done through treatments and everything I can say without a doubt I couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of my company and my army family. Because that’s what this is: it’s not just some job or organization, but through and through they have proven to be family. Words will never be enough to express my gratitude to this company and its soldiers and cadre who have made my journey that much easier. I’m a long way from healthy, but I’ve come so far already because of them. Thank you, Bravo Company, and all of those who compose it, for quite literally helping save my life. Badger pride.

Happy Father’s Day, dad. It’s been quite a year and I can say without a doubt I couldn’t have made it this far without you. From your support of me in joining the Army, to taking the time off work to fly across the entire country multiple times to be with me during my chemo treatments, you have been an incredible blessing and have given me more than I could have ever asked for, and you did it with no hesitation. Not many people have dads that will drop everything to fly across the country for you, let alone five times in four months. I hope I can be half the dad you are some day. Thank you for everything. #HappyFathersDay #FathersDay #Knockaround #FuckCancer #IMissHavingHair (at Fort Huachuca)

Throwback Saturday to our second best beer run ever. Happy birthday bro. I’ll make the next one, drinks on me. (at The King and Queen Seat)

#tbt for #nationalpuppyday to when I had more hair and more puppies in my life (at Ijamsville, Maryland)

I could walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past. My soul is under pressure, but it won’t kill me.

Here’s to getting back to better days
