When Bill Brown joined the Army he knew he wanted to become a Green Beret. His training was physically and mentally challenging, but he persevered. His years of service included deployments to several war zones and time guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
On Memorial Day, the stories of courage told by our veterans help us remember the sacrifice of active duty soldiers in the Armed Forces.
