Do you know someone who served in the military? I do, Bernard Monaghan. He always knows how to put a smile on other people’s faces, from joining the military, or just passing them on the highway hauling a tractor! Life’s not perfect even though, he said nothing was ever wrong. He joined the military when he was twenty years old. He went a year earlier than most men his age because he did not have anything else to do but live on the farm. “I never knew how to do anything else besides farming,” said Monaghan. When Bernard Monaghan was young, all men most join the military. When he started he went into basic training first, right after training he went into serving in Korea. According to Bernard, “There was never very many hardships while serving.”
