Army Jacket

I know I usually post something about comedy or YouTube videos, but I remembered when I joined the army I got issued an army all weather jacket. It was for the dress uniform.

As I walked back to my car, the rain pouring, my glasses foggy, I remembered the only time I ever wore that jacket in the army.

It was a memorial for a fellow soldier in Basic training. It was raining, but we had to wear our dress uniforms, so I marched with my platoon. My glasses were foggy, the rain was pouring, and I will never forget the sadness I felt when they called through the roll and he didn't answer.

Sorry for the deep thought. It's a dreary night in my army coat.
