These men and women serve because our nation called them.
They give of themselves, their families and their lives to insure we are safe.
The price is high; often too high; but families who have the potential to be torn apart, with relationships sacrificed bring a steely resolve. These are their children bei…

Of course, all the courtiers were equally impre…
