Few are aware that we remain at war.
There are currently three hundred and nine million Americans.
Of these,one million Americans are currently active duty military and one million are National Guard.
Many of these troops have seen multiple war zone deployments in both Iraq AND Afghanistan.
Many troops leave behind spouses and children when they are deployed.
This list of resources is dedicated to them.

nephew who was commissioned as an officer in the US Marine Corps this weekend. Would that the military were filled with officers like this young man.

5. On #4: Space between sentences, and capitalize the "t"

need space between "military" and "their" and also "financial" and "legal".

I have a hard time proof-reading my own words on the computer; then I print it out, and the mistakes just pop out. I don't know why that is.
