240 years of service for the Army today. Why do you serve? Did others in your family serve? (Doesn't matter what branch, share your story.)

24 years, 10 months and 3 days and the only thing I would have changed would have been not putting in my retirement packet in so early.

SGM Steve Wettstein, appreciate your duty, well said and eloquently expressed. I do think sometimes of serving again, however I know I did my best on active duty. Its emotional to say the least.

My father and his brothers were all drafted in the Vietnam era. He went on to be a 28 yr Navy veteran from enlisted to Officer his sense of service to country always rang true to me. I knew I would serve. I have proudly served 22 yrs and take pride in doing so.

I always had a deep respect for the Armed Forces growing up because my Dad was in The Air Force then worked for The Marine Corps as a Civillian. To this day I am still unsure why I chose The Army but I do know that I do not regret a thing. This has been The greatest experience of my life. There is not a greater honor. Happy Birthday U.S. Army!
