Back in March of 2003, inspired by LT Smash and a lifelong desire to call myself a writer, I opened an account with Blogger though honestly, not really sure of what I was getting into. I fumbled through setting up the template and struggled to name the damn thing, eventually coming up with Sgt Hook. It didn’t take me long to discover the rest of the blogosphere and realized that I was entering into a whole new world, or at least a sub-culture. With a little help from newfound friends Kate and Lisa, I eventually moved to my own domain and redesigned the place.
My early postings focused mostly on my experiences as a soldier, describing what life was like for those who serve and their families. That hasn’t changed very much. I also tried to share soldiers’ stories that I thought ought to be made known, frustrated that they weren’t covered enough in the MSM. That hasn’t changed much either. From the early days, my readers have provided amazing support to just about anydamnthing I’ve asked. That hasn’t changed at all. I am sincerely thankful for each and every one of you. I am humbled by the wonderful support you’ve showed these past three plus years. Thank you.
Without any further ado…
