I'll make my stand, right here with my friends

Friends are a funny concept, one that only we as humans create, a group of simmilar intrests that find a common ground that bonds them together. Some people are total opposites and still manage to be friends on some basis, but here in the military, not just the army, friends often become more than just that, they become brothers through experience that no one besides those who go through it will understand. Friends evolve into cliques and become second familes to each other, I know this because my friends are my second family, and being away from my friends back home has made me greatful for their love and willingness to spend time with me when I came home. (Arian, Ashlie, Becky, Jacob, Jess, Joe, Kerri, Lester, Trina, Tony, Zak) I'm sure when I come home again there will be the same people I see and more, friends are a special thing, but you must remember, its the quality of friends, not the quantity
