- Introduction:
"To me the military's about people. And as I go through my 34 years of military service...it really is about the people you serve with, and for. People tell me, hey, America's lost, patriotism is gone. It's not. The next greatest generation is just one heartbeat away."
– Perry Wiggins
When considering an organization, an endeavor as large and far reaching as the US military, it's easy to forget that it is made up of people. Citizens, choosing to serve as soldiers, airmen, sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, make up the finest fighting force the world has ever known. Is it perfect? No. But neither are the people who make up our military. But isn't that what shines about our defenders, that ordinary citizens would choose to sacrificially serve their fellow countrymen? One generation was referred to as the "Greatest Generation". But all those who put on the uniform and served with sacrificial honor deserve this title. And may the next generation rise to that badge of honor as well.
This is: "Wiggins, a service story".
