Every month, this two-page article tells the story of a U.S. military serviceman or -woman who bravely served our country. Through photos and interviews with the heroes themselves or their family members, we share their inspirational tales of bravery and sacrifice that are so deserving to be told. Each article is our opportunity to express gratitude for their selflessness in protecting our freedoms. It is an honor to learn about their experiences and share their stories with the community.
