Last week,soon after my nineteenth birthday,I won a promotion to sergeant. I felt happy that the United States Marines knows that I work hard,think quickly,and fight fiarcaly. They made me a squad leader in my sixteenth month in South Viet Nam.I like my jop here in Viet Nam.Although I rniss my family and my girl friend at home , I think that the free world can defeat the Communists and I want help.
