You’ve read these stories before. U.S. soldier does multiple Iraq tours. Gets wounded, twice. Comes home to recover.

These stories are sometimes sad, sometimes inspiring, sometimes both.

The soldier in this story is a little different. He’s “The American GI from Berlin.”

I guess not every European despises the U.S.

But he isn’t a European anymore. He became a U.S. citizen in 2006.

Welcome aboard.
