This photo was taken on this day over 12 years ago. 18 years old. I often reflect on the path that has been carved and the choices that have been made. How looking back on those moments, at times, seem surreal and difficult to comprehend. The realization that surviving past your 21st birthday was a goal too far to reach. The sound of a bullet snapping by is simply a right of passage to a more definitive reality. Never forget where you come from and the lessons you learn along the way. #gruntlife #stayzero #zerofoxtrot #memories
