Age 24, Pearl City, Hawai'i Army National Guard; Battery A, 1st Battalion, 487th Field Artillery in Kuwait. Civilian job: carpenter’s helper and student at Heald Business College.

To everyone back home, my friends and my family, in a few more months I’ll be back at home — party at Pipeline Cafe. All the boys up here are doing fine. We’re strong and nothing’s going to happen to us, because we got this. It’s very hot up here. The people here — they are all right. You just got to get to know them a little more.
