Rodeo Rick

Rodeo Rick wasn't always the family friendly country singers kids and adults know in love today. In the 60s he signed up for the army and got deployed into Vietnam in the year 1966.
Rodeo Rick was born into an average home. He was an only child living with his mom and his dad. His mom stayed at home and his dad worked at a factory. Life was tickity boo for Rick. 
He was bullied at school for picking his nose and using the urinal without any pants on but he was always happy-go-lucky and had only two friends. 
At the age of 10, he started maturing and had many friends and became popular. Smoking cigarettes at the young age of 11 and loosing his virginity at the age of 13, he was set up for a bad life. 
He even robbed a store at the age of 14 at gunpoint, they got money and spent it on a hobo to buy them beer. 
He then started to work out every day and eat healthier. He put the old Rick away for good and began to live a better life. 
Then, when the Vietnam War started, he wanted in. He wanted to fight in that war. So he longed for the day he could.
When the states joined the Vietnam war in 1965, he trained harder, with a couple of close friends who also wanted to join as well. 
Then, in 1966, he signed up for the war with his three friends, Joe, Jim and Jack. 
Their first day of being deployed, Joe and Jack both died from a grenade explosion a couple feet from them, Jim was shot in the leg, Rick shot in the stomach and it was a bloody day.
A medical officer flirted with Rick but he couldn't do anything special with her since he had a bullet lodged in his gut. 
When Rick and Jim got medical treatment, they were back out there, protecting a small village from Viet Cong attacks. That day, Rick found his love for music. He entertained kids by singing and patting on big stones on the ground. 
That was interrupted when they heard unsettling sounds coming from the trees and bushes. They armed their guns and told the citizens to go inside. Then, Jim gets a bullet in the head and Rick hid behind a house with four other men fighting along side Rick.
Then, they revealed themselves, shooting whatever moves. Rick and the others open fired on them and killed them. A single mother got caught in the crossfire. 
The first time Rick rode in a tank was also an interesting experience. Somebody in the tank had horrible diarrhea and took a deuce right next to Rick, who was driving the tank. Then, a helicopter shot a missle at the tank, flipping it over as the tank wasn't engineered right. 
Then there they were, with watery human feces all over them on their side being charged at by Viet Cong soldiers. But as soon as they opened the hatch, Rick opened fire with his assault rifle. 
But there was one night that Rick will never forget. He and a few other soldiers were guarding a miliary fort in the forest at night. Then, out of nowhere, ruffling in the bushes and haunting shrieks and whistles came from the shrubbery. Rick alerted that there was trouble but then, he got stabbed twice in the stomach.
Then Rick left the war with medical treatment and severe PTSD. Often shouting for his long lost friends or remembering the blood curdling sounds of the Viet Cong. He got treatment and it lessened. 
Then he began to pursue his passion of music for all ages, as the children in the village really put a message in his mind and that message is, to play music for children.
