This memoir captures the military experience of a young soldier entering the Army at the end of the Cold War in Europe and a hasty deployment to Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Storm. While the story chronicles actual historical events from 1989 to 1991, it shamelessly depicts the immaturity of young soldiers in peacetime and on the battlefield.

This book is a true account of my experience as a Marine in the Gulf War. I decided to tell my story in hopes of developing, in the reader, a deeper respect for America's veterans by revealing the extreme mental and physical sacrifices a soldier must make during war. I want to show how our own government, while fulfilling our duty, treated us, how people get through such experiences and what those people do to keep their sanity.
For me it was music...
