I am a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and was in one of the first units to occupy Iraq in 2003 (OIF I). I was a Combat Nurse in the 21st Combat Support Hospital (21st CaSH) in Mosul , Iraq . For those who are familiar with the military, my MOS was 91WM6. I saw combat on multiple occasions (earning the Bronze Star) and returned fire with confirmed kills (earning the V device for Valor). I also earned the Combat Medic Badge for providing medical care during combat conditions. I signed my paperwork to enter the military on 9/11/2000 (tell me someone didn’t have a hand in that!) at the age of 30.
Before entering the military, I had had 12 years of experience as a hazardous materials/demolition contractor and consultant. I had also gotten 5 years of experience as a certified structural steel welder. I didn’t join the military to get away from my parents or get money for college. Not that there is anything wrong with those reasons, but I joined to serve my country. I have fought, bled, and literally killed for my country. I defy anyone to look me in the eye and say that I am in any way unpatriotic. I also challenge anyone to tell me that I don’t have significant experience in construction, demolition, or hazardous materials. All of this leads to why I am convinced that 9/11 was an inside job.
