Winston Churchill once said, “Never was so much owed by so many to so few.” During WW ll the American population was nearly 130 million, from which 17 million men and women in uniform fought for world freedom. Today we are a country of over 300 million people, yet less than 1.5 million Americans, a precious few, volunteer to defend western values from the kind of chaos which leads to the fall of civilizations. Churchill’s words are even more apt than in 1940, and were he alive, he would be moved by the courage, deep conviction and disarming humility displayed by the incredible men and women of the United States Military.
