Episode Synopsis "Celebrating Service on Veterans Day"

Every year, on Veterans Day, we as a nation stop to honor and remember men and women who have given everything to serve our country and preserve our freedoms. Service remains at the very core of our Army. It's not just something you do, it's something you join. An entire way of life. A willingness to put others before yourself. A dedication to higher ideal. In our episode today, we're celebrating all those who serve. We will hear from Carl DeVoll, a resident at the Veterans Home of California in Barstow, who as a young Navy recruit in 1946 served in the Marshall Islands during the nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll. And we'll hear from people who serve our community and our Army in other ways -- Barbara Ormsby, who sings karaoke at the Barstow Veterans Home. And E.J. Ane, a student athlete at Fort Irwin who has been honored for his excellence in the classroom, on the field and in the community. Listen. Be inspired. Remember.
