On the battlefield, every element of the Military Health System comes together to make the difference between life and death. Army, Navy and Air Force medical professionals help ensure those in uniform are medically ready to deploy anywhere around the globe on a moment's notice. And these medical professionals are also ready to go with them. There isn’t another military medical force like it in the world with the expertise, the assets and the global reach of our health system. The military health system is the people we need the most because they take care of everyone that gets injured in the line of duty.

When vets came home in earlier societies, people spit on them and showed disrespect, after they had just risked their lives for them and their country. The people didn't know anything they had been through and just added more pain and suffering to the soldier.…
