Our nation's military personnel - those of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard - sacrifice much for the country. They endure rigorous training, months away from family, deployment to active combat zones, exposure to the elements, physical pain, exhaustion and more to safeguard our freedoms and keep us safe.
