   This is the story of a disabled, American Marine, war veteran about to be kicked out of the country he loves. George Ybarra has been incarcerated by our government, for being at home and living a normal productive life. Does this sound impossible? Our government would never do that to a U.S. Marine, Right? Wrong!
   George was born 10-6-64 in Nogales, Sonora Mexico. In January 1965, when George was a few months old he and his mother moved to Tucson, AZ. to live with his grandparents, where his mother had grown up. When George was six the whole family moved to Phoenix, AZ. George started school and did well, he earned many trophies for his talents in baseball and boxing. He worked his way through high school to help the family make ends meet. During high school George enlisted in the marines he was very excited and he left right after graduation. He excelled in the Marines and married his high school sweetheart. They started a family and have four children who he loves very much.
   Our country went to war and George was called to the Persian Gulf, he was given anthrax vaccine, pyridostigmine bromide and other chemical concoctions. He was shipped off to war, he describes it as almost another world smoke and fire everywhere. Heat, dust, wind and M.R.E.
