#59 Ian and his buddy Jason are hanging up christmas lights in their platoon's sleeping area a few weeks before Christmas, to make their center a little bit more home like. When they were at home they had lots of decorations and christmas felt more real, but in Iraq it was like they were the only ones celebrating christmas.
#48 Ian and his dad Charles walk together in Sears store talking about his deployment, it is a hard and difficult last few hours at home with his Dad before he has to say goodbye. It was one of the most difficult moments for Ian when he had to leave his family for Iraq, not
knowing if he would ever see them again.
Ian sits in his sleeping quarter ripping a picture of his girlfriend Jasmine who was a slut and was dating another guy while Ian was home and away in Iraq. He realized that he didn't love her because she wasn't faithful and didn't deserve to be in his life anymore, she broke his heart.
