Born on an Army base, raised on another one until my father retired, and then we relocated. When I was eligible to enlist, I could not have gotten through the medical exam at the time.

These video clips highlight my utmost respect for those who have served, and for those who currently serve.

Thank you for sharing!

And -- in case you didn't know -- the term military "brat" is actually a derived from an acronym: British Regiment Attached Traveler.
