  • This is Our Army

    Really enjoy getting to hear the stories of Soldiers or family members of how they became associated with the Army, what they’re doing, and how the experience has impacted their lives or how their service impacted the lives of others. Really gets to the grassroots of our Army stories and how we’re making a difference with our Army today and for the future.
