Our Youngest Warrior Writer: Age 8

 Jacob Wunderlich of Fort Wayne Wants to be a Marine

Jacob Wunderlich, of Fort Wayne, holds the distinction of being our youngest Warrior Writer, at 8 years of age. He writes: “I am not in the military, but a lot of my family has been. My grandpa was in the Navy on an aircraft carrier. My Grandpa Wunderlich was in the Air Force. My cousin is in the Marines and did three tours in Iraq. I hope to be a Marine when I grow up.”Jacob wrote the following poem, “In War,”as part of a class assignment at his school:

IN WAR. . . by Jacob Wunderlich
In war you get a gun.
In war you get grenades.
In war you can go above.
In war you face enemies or people
that rebel.
In war there are tanks.
In war you see devastating plans.
In war there are nukes, atom
bombs and atomic bombs.
In war you fight for your country.
In war you fight for your life and
for other people.
