About

Would you choose to leave the comforts of home and three meals a day to go to a faraway unknown destination, sleeping in tents or on the ground, eating food that was crawling with bugs, being lifted out of the water when your boat sank, or ducking to avoid being shot? These veterans did.

Some had their reasons for enlisting. Others went because their country asked them to go. Because they went, our homes were safe, and our lives took a turn in a new direction.

Some made the extreme sacrifice, leaving their families missing forever their place at the table. The sacrifices all these people made for us changed their lives and ours forever.
