These men and women don't only serve for their country but they also die for their country. Throughout my whole lifetime I've met three veterans and two of them died and one of them survived. One of them was a young man who lived in my neighborhood his name was Merlin. He was the founder of a foundation he named Merlin's Miracles his goal was to help the families of those who were suffering from burning injuries. He himself was fully burned at 97% of his body after a bomb went off under his vehicle. Sometimes people join the force thinking their going in to a positive turn in thier lives. After seeing themselves hit a downfall either with school or money issues. But no one really pictures themselves being burned after a bomb goes off or being shot after being a gun mans target. He wasn't just and ordinary soldier he was a hero. All of the young men and women in my nieghborhood and throughout the country can truly look up to him. It takes courage and pride to do what he did.
