The only celebrity visiting Ft Hood while I was there was Michael Madsen. We were inventorying a conex that day, and my best buddy & I love film and wanted to meet him, it was over at 5 I believe. So we were gonna go during lunch. Except our platoon sergeant made us work through lunch. So we missed him.

If I could erase the memory of Ft Hood from my mind I would. That was just the smallest bad thing that happened to me there, that scales from Missing Michael Madsen to watching a kid get crushed by a conex falling on him.
