xDEATHH4WKx[TK] Posted July 1, 2025 Report Posted July 1, 2025 (edited) Howdy everyone just wanted to say I’m now proud to stand along side with my hero’s. The work you all do touched my heart and whenever the helmet is on it’s smiles all around. The first time I wore my TK in public was to just goof around and I wasn’t expecting much of anything, but I had people left and right kids adults and the elderly coming up for photos and to pose next to me. I have suffered severe depression and trauma but by becoming a member of the 501st and being able to see all the smiles has given me so much hope and has started to heal a lot of my pain. You all truly inspired me to become a member of the 501st. The journey is just beginning, my first troop is coming up this weekend with Weird Al and on stage with him. WOW!!!!! I never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would be able to be on stage with one of my idols, and as a stormtrooper no less. Thank you all for believing in me and welcoming me with open arms. Next stop Expert Infantry then I’m shooting for Centurion! (Just need a ESB E-11) Edited July 1, 2025 by xDEATHH4WKx Typos 2 3
