Driving down the road, it was dusty and hot, the ground less like sand and more like a fine powder. The sounds of gunfire and explosions rang in the distance, interspersed with the sound of prayers echoing from the countless mosques lining the side of the road. “The days were similar, but they were never quite the same,” Hodge said. Hodge is a 30-year-old so- cial work major at CSU and a former U.S. Marine whose story serves as a tribute to Vet- eran’s Day, a time dedicated to the men and women in the armed forces. He grew up in Perry Hall, Md. and enlisted in the Marines after graduating from a college in North Carolina in 2002. He was inspired by the events of Sept. 11, 2001, saying he felt duty-bound to participate in the war he knew was coming. “Every serviceman who joined the armed forces after 9/11 did so knowing that they were going to war,” Hodge said. “To me, this is one of the most profound statements of our generation of veterans. We weren’t drafted. We simply wanted to be there to fight for our country.” Michael Shaner, a longtime friend of Hodge’s and the best man at his wedding, was one of Hodge’s many friends and fam- ily members concerned about him going overseas.
