My Hero

Kelly was a true blooded american, right to the core...He stood up for what he believed in, he taught others who were willing to learn how to better their techniques with weapons and as a sniper, watched many backs...He was a motivator, a friends, a chef, and a drummer...He strived to be the best at everything...He loved his family unconditionally, and he fought for his country bravely...He knew he would probably not make it out alive but he went and did his job...always volunteering or going on missions when asked, without question...
