Taylor Moore is Fighting for our Country

           “Bang, bang”,” attention soldiers”,” at ease”, these are just some of the things that you would have heard if you were back with Taylor Moore in Iraq between 2010 and 2011. All of us are acquainted with the words “war” and “protect.” America has been in a handful of wars to protect our people and others needing help dating back to the American Revelation. Taylor has done a job that we may not be able to work up the nerve to do. Taylor served our country very well, and he has done something that we will always remember him for.

            Taylor Moore is a 22 year old student at Horry Georgetown Technical College, and is currently working at Giant Crab restaurant. He is new to this part of the state. He is originally from Greenville, South Carolina. Taylor’s major is Criminal Justice. He plans on being a local cop and then going higher in his career from there. He is smart when it comes to history because that is his favorite subject, which makes his past job so great. War, soldiers and anything to do with protecting a country are the highest things known in history. The history of war is and always will come before any history of anything else. Taylor decided a few years ago that he wanted to help our country. He spent a year of his life in Iraq guarding high ranking officers. Like almost anyone else that would be in his boots, he wasn’t thrilled about being where he was but happy to be a part of something bigger.

             Along with guarding high ranking officers, Taylor also countered IDF patrols to look out for rockets. Taylor got to work along with the Iraqi Special Forces. He also got to train Iraqis. Taylor left the Army because his contract was up, and the military was cutting troops. In keeping with the protect and serve mentality, Taylor hopes to have a successful career as a local police officer. Although he is guarding a much smaller geographical area, he is still a foot soldier on the streets, trying to keep us all safe from harm.
