[ WP ] Write a soldier 's journal entry on his first day at war . Then write his last journal entry .

Day One: 
 
 It ’ s nerve wracking being part of the military. The officers are terrifying. Orders are rapidly given to us. The officers know what they ’ re doing; they have been in many wars before, so I trust them. I ’ m scared because they are sending out everyone they can get as soon as possible. I have been training for this moment, but I can ’ t but feel nervous. I know I have to fight. If I don ’ t, then what will happen to Mom, Dad, and Julie? I have to be strong for them. I won ’ t let them face these horrors. I will become the best soldier. I will come home and make them proud of me. 
 
 Day Two: 
 
 I go into battle today. This is my chance.
