It all started when I was laying in the hospital bed bored out of my mind and wondering how I even got in this situation. I thought I did everything right, but then I was reminded that I did everything right. If I did fuck up somewhere, then I would be in a worse off situation. As a team leader of sniper platoon, I still worked the radio and guided my guys in what they needed to do while I could feel the warm blood pour out of my body. Our priority after I found out how badly hit I and another Marine were was to secure the area until QRF arrived. So we did that. Anyway, my first thoughts that came across me was if I was ok and how long will it take me to rejoin my team. The Drs. said months. Then I came up with the shirt idea. A lot of people seem to ask for money and donations with nothing in return to the person giving the money. If I made these shirts, then the individual donating the money can get a shirt designed by me. Not that I'm the best artist or anything, but you can say that you are wearing a shirt made by an actual sniper. Plus I took a gamble on making these shirts, because I had to front all the money to make the shirts. If you read some of the articles about me, then you have an idea of what kind of person I am. I just want to do my job and make my family proud 1st and then the American people who I defend proud too. Not only do I want to do my job, but I want to do it GOOD. By killing as many of these extreme fuckers as I can. Trust me they are extreme and smart. They are killing our brothers everyday if you have not seen the news lately. I like what I do and I think I do it great. Also if my grammar sucks, sorry. I'm a Marine, but somehow still graduated from college. Don't ask me how, ask my wife. God Bless all Americans and not just people living in America. Some people forgot what it means to be an American and not just a person living in America. January 17, 2007 Sgt. Michael A.
