A challenge I faced while serving was being one of the only females in a shop full of males. Having to learn quickly to either play the game or they will try to break you. They tried. I don’t play games well. I just present evidence. Made enemies with some but trust with those who counted.“</image:caption>

My father served in the Army during World War II, and I simply followed my father’s footsteps, proudly serving in the United States Air Force for six years. One memory that has stayed with me since my childhood is respect; respect for my elders, respect for my coworkers, respect for those in general. I was always very proud of the Air Force mission. We didn’t fight on the ground and get shot at like some other branches endured, but many of our aircraft and our downed pilots did get shot at. Many F-4 pilots were shot down in Vietnam and would wind up in indescribable POW camps, but I did not. I had a pretty good life during my Vietnam-era six years in the Air Force. While my challenges and struggles since leaving the military pale by comparison to many others, I have struggled somewhat, to this day. I’ve struggled with lack of respect shown by others, lack of respect to others, and many other things. I miss the discipline, the respect, the camaraderie, and the opportunities I encountered in the United States Air Force."</image:caption>

There were several memories, but the one that sticks with me even to this day is of seeing the bodies of two of our pilots from the plane that gather aerial photos of weather and other information that help the troops on the ground. Something You're Proud of from Your Service: I’m proud of engaging with the Vietnamese people and the cultural enlightenment. The varied language and the learning how to enjoy the danger of being living and not knowing if or when you could die. A challenge I faced in being in the Military and even before is the same one I face everyday and I want to put a name to because the label that may address the way that people still do not consider me as equal to them. They may have a problem but I never will because I am me.”</image:caption>

Service was never about profit or personal gain—it was a calling shaped early by my parents and a few key mentors who instilled a strong work ethic and a commitment to something greater than myself. I’m proud to have served for so many years and to continue that mission today through a veteran nonprofit. Most importantly, I recognize my family, who made that service possible. While I did work I loved, they carried the real cost—missed milestones, financial sacrifices, and the constant worry for my safety. Their support and sacrifice made my service possible, and I remain deeply grateful."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>US Army, 1989-1996 "My military service has meant the world to me. At 17, I was looking for structure and guidance because I was making decisions that would have eventually led me to jail. I had many behavioral issues and hoped the military would help me overcome my track record. In the service, I found exactly what I was looking for and more. The Army took in an immature kid and, in eight short years, released a man. I will always be grateful for everything the military has done for me. A memory that has stayed with me is The Drill Sergeants. As I mentioned, I was full of anger and poor decision-making. My introduction to Drill Sergeants was the first time I truly feared another person, but by the time I finished Basic Training, that fear had shifted to respect. I was given excellent examples of how to carry myself, which is where my service started molding the man I would become. I am extremely proud of the person I became during my eight years in uniform, but I am most proud that two of my sons decided to follow in my footsteps. After leaving the Army, I struggled to find my footing and fit into the civilian world. These struggles never seem to completely disappear. Almost 20 years later there are still some days where I think of how life would have been different had I chosen to stay in. A military approach is not always warmly welcomed in a civilian world."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>US Army Veteran The little known job (MOS) of an Army soldier called, Animal Care Specialist, was one I had asked for before I signed any dotted line.  As soon as a slot opened up almost half a year later after I was ready to join, I left the Louisville Zoo where I was working at and began my military adventure. I was on my way to care for all creatures great and small with a huge medical organization dedicated to the finest care,  The United States Army Veterinary Corps. I could think of dozens of stand-out miracle animal stories, like the James Harriet novels of veterinary medicine.  But the sacrifice of animals in the military go unnoticed;  the quiet slow horse gait, while your sit in the saddle, enjoying the peaceful view and resting your soldier mind,  to the hundreds and hundreds I saw at the research center for medical study, the goats we used in chemical warfare labs, and the unfortunate ones that had to be put down for so many reasons; mostly not being able to find a home.  The last part is what vet techs might be silent about.  We are the ones who have to carry out euthanasia and cleaning up afterward.  We carry the burden of the number that we put down. You never forget.   A good day is a healthy young puppy-breathed animal just coming in for vaccines, who has a loving home and has a life ahead of being there for a soldier and his family.  A good day is knowing there are dogs like Zachary, the golden retriever who would give his blood so someone else could live.  A good day is sharing a smile of a fellow vet tech after a hard day of emotional work.  My plea for anyone (after serving my country), is that you can help too.  You can give money to spay and neuter education programs, offer to pet-sit a soldier's dog when they go on tour, and to sponsor service dogs for veterans when they return.  There is truly no love like that of a pet.  Like our unit flag that read, Man’s Best Friend, you are rescuing two; a dog and the dog's human.</image:caption>

During my service, I learned that nothing can take you down unless you allow it. Standing tall in the unforeseen circumstances builds character. Adapting quickly. A challenge I faced while serving was being one of the only females in a shop full of males. Having to learn quickly to either play the game or they will try to break you. They tried. I don’t play games well. I just present evidence. Made enemies with some but trust with those who counted.“</image:caption>

My father served in the Army during World War II, and I simply followed my father’s footsteps, proudly serving in the United States Air Force for six years. One memory that has stayed with me since my childhood is respect; respect for my elders, respect for my coworkers, respect for those in general. I was always very proud of the Air Force mission. We didn’t fight on the ground and get shot at like some other branches endured, but many of our aircraft and our downed pilots did get shot at. Many F-4 pilots were shot down in Vietnam and would wind up in indescribable POW camps, but I did not. I had a pretty good life during my Vietnam-era six years in the Air Force. While my challenges and struggles since leaving the military pale by comparison to many others, I have struggled somewhat, to this day. I’ve struggled with lack of respect shown by others, lack of respect to others, and many other things. I miss the discipline, the respect, the camaraderie, and the opportunities I encountered in the United States Air Force."</image:caption>

Fred Wilson | US Army Veteran | Vietnam Combat Engineer |. “Serving my country gave me a sense of pride and moral satisfaction being able to answer the call as an American Soldier. There were several memories, but the one that sticks with me even to this day is of seeing the bodies of two of our pilots from the plane that gather aerial photos of weather and other information that help the troops on the ground. Something You're Proud of from Your Service: I’m proud of engaging with the Vietnamese people and the cultural enlightenment. The varied language and the learning how to enjoy the danger of being living and not knowing if or when you could die. A challenge I faced in being in the Military and even before is the same one I face everyday and I want to put a name to because the label that may address the way that people still do not consider me as equal to them. They may have a problem but I never will because I am me.”</image:caption>

Service was never about profit or personal gain—it was a calling shaped early by my parents and a few key mentors who instilled a strong work ethic and a commitment to something greater than myself. I’m proud to have served for so many years and to continue that mission today through a veteran nonprofit. Most importantly, I recognize my family, who made that service possible. While I did work I loved, they carried the real cost—missed milestones, financial sacrifices, and the constant worry for my safety. Their support and sacrifice made my service possible, and I remain deeply grateful."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Robert Duffey | US Army Veteran | "My military service has meant the world to me. At 17, I was looking for structure and guidance because I was making decisions that would have eventually led me to jail. I had many behavioral issues and hoped the military would help me overcome my track record. In the service, I found exactly what I was looking for and more. The Army took in an immature kid and, in eight short years, released a man. I will always be grateful for everything the military has done for me. A memory that has stayed with me is The Drill Sergeants. As I mentioned, I was full of anger and poor decision-making. My introduction to Drill Sergeants was the first time I truly feared another person, but by the time I finished Basic Training, that fear had shifted to respect. I was given excellent examples of how to carry myself, which is where my service started molding the man I would become. I am extremely proud of the person I became during my eight years in uniform, but I am most proud that two of my sons decided to follow in my footsteps. After leaving the Army, I struggled to find my footing and fit into the civilian world. These struggles never seem to completely disappear. Almost 20 years later there are still some days where I think of how life would have been different had I chosen to stay in. A military approach is not always warmly welcomed in a civilian world."</image:caption>
