What have you done for a veteran today

As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's veteran service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group. Our common bond is the foreign conflict, whether it is service in the Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.

April is the Month of the Military Child. It is celebrated throughout the month to honor children of Military Members. So let's show our "Brats" how much they mean to us!
