GULF WAR STORIES AND PICTURES

As most everyone probably knows, Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2nd, 1990. Soon after, I found myself along with many of my fellow Marines on the way to Saudi Arabia. The following stories will explain our experiences and hopefully show you what we went through during these stressful, long months. After 7 1/2 months, I returned home to the arms of my loving wife and a grateful nation.

These stories are dedicated to all of you whose prayers were heard by all of us as well as God Almighty. Your support and His benevolence brought us home safely.
