Another "We Need More Men Like This Kid"

Posted By Laughing_Wolf

A few days ago, Mr. Wolf brought us the story of a Make A Wish kid who used his one wish to be a soldier.

You all right?" Pvt. Isaac asked.

Sgt. Cox nodded.

"Good," Pvt. Isaac said. "You're a soldier now."


I'm still Army Strong, it's just that my eyes are working hard at clearing out that damned dust.

HOOAH!!!
