A Soldier's life it was.

Who was I during my past life? I often ponder who I was before?

But I believe I was a Soldier who took part in WW2 as a 101^st Airborne Trooper. A lieutenant in one of the platoons in the 506^th regiment. The reason why I believe that, because as a Kid, I was always intrigued by every WW2 movie I watched. Also everything looked familiar to me as well, the uniforms, the weapons used, even the terrain. Whenever I would see something related to WW2, I would either recognize it or actually name and tell what happened during those events. I even some items that were from WW2, the M1 Helmet and old pouches used during that time.

I would often wonder how it was before, and each time it would feel like I was there. June 6, 1944, Operation Overlord, was one of the largest operations ever made at that time. The invasion of Europe began, every time there was a movie in that time line, it would feel as if I was there. As if I was those who jumped out of a plane and fought their way through Normandy all the way to France.

I would stop for a few seconds and begin to think about the events that took place during those times. All the hardships that came by, the blood that was shed, the pain that was felt, and the men I may have fought with together. There was this line I remember from before. “For he today that sheds his blood with me. Shall be my Brother.” Original this was from Shakespear, but it was said by one of the Troopers of the 101^st Airborne. There is this other line I remember, it says: “We few, we lucky few, We Band Of Brothers.” One of my most Favorite line I could ever take out of the 101^st. I also remember as a Kid, I had a uniform made, it had the design of the 101^st Airborne Uniform. I had it made just to feel what it felt like. Sadly I out grew the Uniform and now I am looking for another Tailor just to have one made again.

Anyways, WW2 until now, continues to intrigue me in a lot of ways. I have never grown tired of it nor bored of it. I would always look for more WW2 related things and look for people to talk to about it too. This is why I believe I was a WW2 Soldier in my past life, due to all the things that has happened to me and along with why I am in to it and never tired of it. It seems it will always be a part of me.

A Soldier’s life it was.
