Military professionals consider it a great honor to be able to defend their country. However, being away from one's family can be incredibly difficult. Many military people end up missing important dates in their loved one's life, such as family vacations, graduations and wedding days.
Lance had been deployed for 27 months. He had not seen many of his family member's in five years, including his younger brother Rex. Rex did not think that Lance would be able to make it to the wedding. However, little did Rex know he was going to get the surprise of his life.
Lance came to his brother's house right before everyone left for the wedding. Rex seemed both surprised and excited to see his brother. Other people knew that Lance was coming home, but

Military families live all across the United States and more than likely you know at least one or you, yourself, are actually a military family. In the excerpt from “Military Children and Families” by Nansook Park, Park argues that greater attention needs to be established by psychologists towards military families in order to implement more effective programs to help support military families. To support her argument, Nansook Park uses an effective amount of pathos and logos, citing credible psychological studies and along with pathos and logos, she uses ethos as well.
There is a large amount of military families around the world. About Forty- three percent of active military members have children (Website). These children face so many challenges and struggles in their life while having a parent in the military. Children of Active duty military members exhibit anxiety, depression and stress just as much as the service members and spouses experience. For instance the children experience going through multiple deployments, long separations, frequent moves and awkward reunions when their parents return home from deployment. Even more so if the parent has been physically or mentally traumatized from overseas.
The position of president is the highest office in the nation. Many people believe in order to be president the person filling the office should have military experience. Since the 1992 the candidate that has won has had no military experience but prior to this year the majority of presidents had military experience. The public does not require their presidential candidates to have military experience and in the last few decades have elected presidents with no military experience despite the fact the country has been embroiled in the War on Terror. Presidents should be required to serve time in the military before running for this office.
In America, we enjoy many freedoms: liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness; these freedoms are often taken for granted by Americans. Many do not realize that these freedoms did not come with ease, nor do they remain without someone to protect them. America is truly the best nation because of the freedoms it grants to every citizen; without these fundamental ideas, America would not be what it is today. The branches of military have and continue to protect these freedoms. Military officers are the glue that holds each branch of military together, without them, the services would be in disarray. However, an officer must possess certain qualities that allow them to be a successful leader.
Family is something that is always on a soldier or a sailor's mind. They think about them every waking second and getting home to them becomes a number one priority. Interestingly, while a service member is deployed, their family becomes a motivation instead of a grievance from the separation. A soldier's family becomes something they can fight for, something that they know they can protect by the things that they are doing. And ironically, although some can be deployed for more than a year sometimes, the time apart can often make a family stronger, strengthening the bonds between them when they reunite (PTSD). The way that this can happen is only truly understandable by someone who has gone through it; and although there have been many written and told accounts, when a deployee finally meets his family again after being deployed for any amount of time, the feeling of relief and happiness among all the family members is something that isn't felt lightly. For many, once deployed, their new mission is to come back home
ith the blessing of her cronies in Philadelphia, Hannelore reported back to Lance. Entering the field office of the Martinsens, she found Lance sitting on a chair in front of Chandler’s desk. Chandler and Sharon were also present, sifting through thick mounds of paperwork at their desks. Hannelore addressed Lance with an approving voice. “I just spoke to my cohorts,” she told him. “They have given me enough resources for you to carry out your plans. Consider yourself an ally of the GACSS.”
Throughout my military career, it became apparent that the staff officers within my command had attained a great sense of professionalism, leadership abilities and technical skills. My military duty positions in my career, such as being the Battalion S3 driver, TOC radiotelephone operator, and Brigade S6 NCOIC, allowed me to directly converse with many officers. I was able to monitor firsthand the daily task and responsibilities of some staff officers. After years of maintaining a high level of performance at work, I felt that taking a more challenging role within the Army would be beneficial to my career. I began to believe that I could provide the Army with another military officer of the same caliber of those in my previous commands. My aspiration to become an Army Officer fostered greatly through conversations with my former Brigade S6 OIC, MAJ Joe Gardner. He was previously a senior NCO and made the transition to an officer. He understood

To some being in the military is just serving their country, to other, well it is a way of life. Those are the ones that want to remember their time served. If you have a loved one who is finding it their time to say farewell to their military service then you may be looking for a gift that will commemorate their service. Statues and sculptures are both a great and unique option to consider.
