24 Million Thanks this Independence Day
Our forefathers were quite a ragtag group of militia back in 1775. Only 20,000 were regulars, the remaining 230,000 were untrained and even typically lacked uniforms. They were farmers and business people from around the 13 colonies that were so passionate about their country that they served and led this country to its freedom.
234 years later, the numbers have grown. We have 24 million veterans living in the United States. Each of those Veterans served their country and has fought for independence around the globe. From Turkey to Grenada to Iraq, our Veterans have served in some of the most incredibly challenging conditions and climates.
