I enlisted in the U.S. Army at 17 years old. During my first night on active duty, I lay awake for hours on my bunk in the basic training barracks at Fort Jackson in South Carolina. I was far too excited to sleep, and I held my newly stamped dog tags clenched in a fist. I felt like I was part of something greater, something sacred.
Over the next decade, in peace and in war, I had the privilege to serve with some of America’s greatest assets: the men and women of our Armed Forces, who we remember on Veterans Day. General Douglas MacArthur described them as “unquestioning, uncomplaining, with faith in their hearts, and on their lips the hope that we would go on to victory.”
