Why I Serve

"I serve because I love my country and to be an example of leadership. To serve and defend the greatest country in the world is truly an honor. The leaders who came before us laid the groundwork for what America is today and by serving, I want to help make their dreams our reality." -Sgt. Michael Murphy, U.S. Army Africa command driver and 173rd Airborne Brigade Paratrooper
