13. Sent To Iraq As A Supply Clerk

By December 2002, Jessica penned a four-year extension with the Army. She was now a supply clerk at Fort Bliss in Texas. By March 2003, the war in the Middle East broke out and she was sent to Iraq with the 507th Maintenance Company as a Private First Class. And before she knew it, she found herself at the heart of the Battle of Nasiriyah. One coincidence after another, she couldn’t help but think it was a sign of something worse to come.
