Military service is time spent serving by an individual or group in the armed forces, such as the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force, or Space Force whether as a chosen job (volunteer) or because of an involuntary draft (conscription). Service requires an immense understanding and sacrifice, by the members, but more precisely by the family to endure the countless deployments, combat tours, and long hours.
