With millions of veterans that have served our country, sometimes in our annual tribute it's easy to forget about the individual stories. The following are a few personal stories I discovered on the US Department of Defense website defense.gov and wanted to share a few with you. I encourage you to explore the site to learn more about Our Armed Forces and Veterans. |
