RAF MILDENHALL, SUFFOLK, UNITED KINGDOM, (November 11, 2025): U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Cameron Gilbert, left, 100th Security Forces Squadron military working dog trainer, braces himself as MWD Glen grips onto the bite suit while Staff Sgt. Julian Benjamin, 100th SFS MWD handler, holds onto the leash during water confidence training in a pool at RAF Mildenhall, England, Nov. 12, 2025. This was the first time this type of training has been conducted at RAF Mildenhall and the tri-base area, and the goal is to build confidence in the working dogs, so they are able to conduct operational tasks while in the water. The training strengthens the overall readiness and force projection capability through building MWDs’ confidence in the water and bolsters the 100th Air Refueling Wing’s ability to forward-deploy in austere environments.

Since the 1960s, the “Me Generation” has gradually rebuilt American culture to take from others, avoid personal responsibility, and pursue self-gratification without duty.
But through it all has shone a bright spot.
America's veterans. Those who stepped up to protect and defend others. Those who gave the best years of their lives not living the good life at the mall or raking in the benefits taken from others, but raising families on meager military salaries in hard circumstances not of their own making, in order to protect others.
An example to all. They were always there for America.
Keeping the dark forces at bay. All American’s should follow their example. The character of America’s veterans, servicemen, and servicewomen has been a constant through all the social flux. They sign-up to do good for others. And when they return to civilian life they are often found continuing to do good for others.
Their hand is not out, except to help you up.
To do good. To build up. To better. To improve. To create.
You don't have to be brave enough to offer your hand. But when you're standing in line and see someone wearing something that shows they’re a veteran, you can easily look at them and simply say “thank you for protecting me and my family.”
It's the right thing to do. A step in the right direction. To acknowledge their hard work on your behalf.
To show them you were worthy of their efforts.
