  • 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.

Helping Veterans Byte Digital Bullets
Q: Jason, I understand that one of the hardest moments for you as a combat medic was delivering a baby. Can you tell us about that?

Helping Veterans Byte Digital Bullets
Q: Mark, what was the hardest part of your service? Biggest lesson that you've learned from it?
