I'm as interested in the families and communities that surround our soldiers.

I'm trying to raise the awareness of the troops that, when they deploy and go to war, it's not just them at war - it's also their family. Their family is having to go through all the hardships and the stresses.

All soldiers who serve their country and put their lives at risk need to know that if something happens to them, their families will be well taken care of. That's the bond we have with our military men and women and their families.

I take care of military families. Their sacrifices are very real.

I have family that are vets of the military. My grandfather served as well.

I'm interested in wartime stories, as I think it's important to remember what the soldiers went through.

My dad was in the Army, so what was happening internationally and nationally was always important to my family.

My family has served the country in almost every major war since the Civil War.

I understand the military. I know the military.

When you go to war, it's important for everybody to know that they're going to come home in one way or other.
