The Soldiers from 3rd Platoon, 62nd Engineer Company, 4th Engineer Battalion pray before a mission. Although not all of the Soldiers are religious, they all join in to be a part of the circle and pray before every mission.
Nearly five years ago, I wrote a post based on my experience in called “How to Lose Your Soul.” It was difficult enough to publish the first time and more embarrassing to point out again. But, I never really published my thoughts leading up to that day and what led me to make that decision outside of that day’s events.
