I fought in Iraq for a a full year. (feb 03 - feb 04) I fought and feared for my life next to blacks,mexicans, asian, japaneese, whites, etc.., but we were all americans. The most hurtful thing was crying for my fellow soldier and friend, a black man. Ive never lost anyone I was close to before, not in death. Spc. Maurice Johnson, rest in peace, we love you. He will not be forgotten.
