For far too long, the United States did not live up to the commitments we made to all servicemembers in exchange for their sacrifice and service to our nation.

From the diverse fields of medicine, science, and entertainment, to the fight for civil rights and equality, this community helped America to become that more perfect union our nation always strives to be.
