By a real life heroine of mine and fellow OIF vet Sen Tammy Duckworth:
"I don't know why I survived Iraq and I don't know why I made it home, but I do know that this is my second chance at life and I can do whatever I want now."
I wish more OEF and OIF vets see coming home as a second chance at life; unfortunately the suicide rate among my military peers is still well above those in the civilian world https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/04/01/us-military-suicides-remain-stubbornly-high/82518278/
