Valerie Ann Saenz

Bottom



I was born on the 28th of August in Tucson, Arizona. I joined the Army in June of 2003. My main reason for joining the Army was to be more than what I was at that time. I wanted Ethan to say more than just, "My sister is an operator". Really now, how exciting does that sound. But that's just what I think, nothing against phone operators. My Family is what matters most to me in my life. No matter how bad things are and how miserable I may feel, I know that my family is always there for me.




This is my Dad to my left and my Mom to my right. My parents are my very best friends. They have an unconditional love that every parent should have for their children. My relationship with my parents is very strong. There is very little to nothing that they do not know about me. I love my parents very much.


My Mom is a very strong woman. She doesn't look a day over 40, does she? Many people have though that my Mom was my sister and for as much time as we have spent together, the way we act with each other, we seem like sisters.




This is me right before I got promoted from Private First Class to the rank of Specialist. Three months into our deployment I finally got promoted. I was very happy!!


Then here I am wearing my rank of Specialist. I was pinned by my Company Commander, Captain Cubbage, 1SG Wolfe and SFC Chance.




I don't have too many hobbies but when I was on pass I got to go out on this boat. I had a lot of fun just hanging out and jumping off into the Persian Gulf.


This is Tony, I met him while I was deployed to Afghanistan. I can honestly say that he was truly my very first boyfriend. I loved his smile and the way he rolls his eyes when he talks about things that bother him. I also loved the way he laughs. Alas, it was not meant to last.
