Few people will ever know the hardships and adversity faced by those who raise their right hand and take an oath to serve our country.

With less than 1% of America’s population currently serving in the US Armed Forces, most people don't have skin in the game when it comes to defending the Constitution.

Those brave souls who answer our nation’s call often find themselves having to put duty before themselves and their family, including one Airman — Staff Sgt. Nathaniel Thomasen — who couldn’t be present when any of his five children were conceived!

Wow! What a tremendous sacrifice!
