Hey, I have received emails from this person and I was smart enough not to give out my personal information. He or she asked me to send them personal information so they can send me money to put away for them. So this is a scam then right? I thought it was a scam or a terrorist.Good to know I didn't fall for it.

It's a scam. There is no money and no American soldier. This is a typical advance-fee scam, in which the victim is promised imaginary money, but then is told that they have to pay fees/bribes/taxes/etc. in order to receive the money. In the end the only money that will change hands is yours - into the scammer's pockets.
