Justin L. Williams never expected six years in the U.S. Army and a 1,000-foot jump from a plane to land him where he is today - pursuing his second college degree at Georgia Southern University through the help of the university's Wounded Eagle Fund. A native of Cordele, Georgia, Williams joined the Army as an E-1, or a buck private. His first duty station was at the former Warner Barracks in Bamberg, Germany, with the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat team.
