Half way through the second month the five remainders were still here and each passing day they grew stronger. The day finally came where we would tell who was going to Iraq.
"Alright listen up this is your last and final drill, it will tell us who will serve our country," said Sullivan
"Okay you five will be in pairs, Gracie and Chad, Sharpay and Clay, and Troy you will be paired with Sullivan. Y'all are each responsible for your partner; the four remaining will come with me and Sullivan to Iraq," I said
The whistle blew and they all made it out ok. Now it was time to decide who was to be eliminated, that person turned out to be…… Sharpay. We went to Iraq and again it was a living hell. I returned a year later and so did Gracie only in a hearse. She was with Chad and Troy when it happened. She and Troy were walking around trying to find people in a building while Chad was getting some people to safety. The bomb went off moments after they went in. My family and I are gathered around the grave right now. Jeb is the one we're worried about the most he just lost his baby sister and I know that if I ever lost Bo or Jud I would be too. Gracie served this country with great pride as Troy did and the other American Soldiers, and I am so darn proud of them.
