Logan Musgrave rests 20-feet high in the branches of a tall tree as he and his friends joke around in the summer after graduating from Jasper High School on Aug. 13 in Jasper. “This is the life,” he said in early August, while hanging with friends in one of their homes smoking hookah, playing games of water pong, swapping dirty jokes and blasting ’90s music. “This is just what we do. We go out and do what we want, have some fun. If I don’t like it, I don’t do it. Simple as that.” An irresponsible teenager without a plan, Logan Musgrave didn't plan on attending college. He decided to sign up for the military, specifically the U.S. Army National Guard. Trained in Fort Leonarwood, Missouri for 19 weeks, he pushed his body to its physical peaks, found camaraderie within the ranks, but all while missing life at home, appreciating the family and life he had taken for granted. But once home, he was man with a path — a man who cared about his future, his life and his family.
