    Share Your Why

    Why are you here? Why do you wear the uniform? Why did you raise your right hand? Why do you choose to serve? Be it on active duty or in the Reserves, there are more than 2 million people serving in the U.S. military and millions of veterans have served before them in the several hundred year history of the country’s armed forces. With such a broad number of current service members and veterans alike, there are varying reasons as to why people have joined the military ranks.

Others volunteer for the benefits associated with service such as medical, education and retirement benefits.
