I was super fortunate to serve part of my tour of duty with the 5/1 ‘MSH’ CAV at Frontenac. I was presented my ‘Combat Spurs’ while serving with them. They are by far some of my favorite soldiers! But, I have met fantastic soldiers all over Afghanistan. Great guys with top-notch leadership. I know this sounds corny and all, but I really mean it; when I think of those soldiers I get goose bumps bec...ause they are what makes America so great. Those soldiers, and soldiers like SGG Beem are the reasons I serve - I want to be on a team full of the Real Deal! I like hanging out with brave people. Here is a short story about one of them – SSG Brian Beem:
