WARRIORS & FAMILIES
Your stories keep us going. Every day, we hear new stories from our warriors that remind us why we do what we do. We’d love to share some with you.
Philip Krabbe
Philip Krabbe’s happiest memories came from the time he spent in the U.S. Marine Corps. “I loved the Marines.” Philip says. “The best part was the camaraderie and the love we had for one another.”
Sam Hargrove
Sam Hargrove joined the U.S. Air Force in 1996 for the promise of a better life and a secure future. She never thought her job as an admin, working on computers, would put her in harm’s way — but in Iraq, everything was in harm’s way.
Jason Ehrhart
The events of 9/11 made Jason Ehrhart angry — so angry that he enlisted in the U.S. Army after high school. In September of 2005, he was sent to Iraq as an infantry mortarman. Three months later, life for Jason and his family took a devastating turn.
Bill Geiger
When Bill Geiger returned to civilian life after two deployments with the United States Army, he was a changed man.
Donna Pratt
Donna Pratt didn’t want to be an individual. That’s how she felt though hobbling around on crutches in Fort Stewart, Georgia, separated by thousands of miles from her military family in Iraq.
