Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well. I apologize for the lack of monthly updates. From now on, I will work harder to make sure they are on time.

We are still accepting submissions to "What the Military Means to Us" and will be featuring two each month. Here are two below:

said the following:

"So I joined the military for one simple reason. To serve. In my opinion, everybody should serve, kinda like what Israel does. Put in your 2 years, if you don't like it, leave, if you do, we're glad to have you stay. I joined the United States Marine Corps. I love what I have learned already, the discipline and pride that has been instilled in me, and my brotherhood with other Marines. Hell, I could give my rackmate my wallet with $100 and trust him more then I could my little brother. It's things like that that make me already love this job path that i have chosen. I've only completed basic training, on Monday I leave for Combat Training, and then my MOS school (i think you army guys call it AIT) Anyway, Semper Fi, and I can't wait to go get some.

-PVT Kirk Bater, USMC"
