Andrew Young's Story:
Andrew (or Andy as he has people refer to him) was born on cape cod in 1995, he took night classes and, at a very early age he decided to join the military his decision was cemented when the 9/11 terrorist attacks shook him to the core as it did many Americans. He went to Afghanistan not once but twice. The 3rd time he could have signed up for a 3rd tour, he chose not to mainly because he was tired of it. But don't let that lead you to conclude he was reluctant to join and rejoin, anything but, on multiple occasions he showed his fondness for the military. currently he works as a shell fisherman. I can say judging from the interview he is enjoying his time after serving spending it with his family ,and endowed with far more freedom
