“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.
