Surrounded By Reminders

A day in the life of a Soldier is full of reminders of those gone before.

My alarm goes off at 0500 (5 am) just like it does every single Monday through Friday. The house is dark and quiet. My wife probably won’t be up for another 90 minutes and my kids won’t be up until 0700. Hanging in the bathroom is the same set of clothes I wear every weekday morning. A black shirt with a bright yellow “Army” emblazoned across the front and black shorts with similar lettering. This is what I wear for physical training (PT) every day.
