[Schoomaker] The Army is a year older than even the Declaration of Independence.
I speak with pride about the fact that our colonial forefathers saw the need
to establish an Army very soon after they began to formulate the
notion of an independent nation. We're about establishing the conditions for
peace, for opening up frontiers, for permitting emerging
democracies and people who thirst for freedom to realize
their ambition. My real Army hero--not surprising probably
to you-- is not an individual but it's a group of individuals,
and they are the combat medics.
