“At its heart, service in the United States military is a commitment to defend our Constitution. Our warriors are there ready to protect our individual liberty, our freedom to speak as we wish, to assemble peacefully, and to worship according to our own beliefs.
America is blessed with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, two of the most consequential documents in human history. The words in these documents, however, cannot protect themselves. It takes Americans willing to put something greater than themselves first—freedom.
Your service is not transactional in nature. Your service will have an impact for generations.”
