I have been awarded several medals from the United States Army; though all are important to me the one medal of seven that bears the most significance is the Army Achievement Medal for my service on funeral detail.

After having served myself‚ I can completely agree with the notion that the Army is definitely more of a society‚ in sociological terms‚ than an organization. Merriam-Webster defines “Society” as: “ people in general thought of as living together in organized communities

Yes we do have our problems‚ but
