A
s we honor the 40th anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, I had the privilege of speaking with Jan Scruggs and learning about The Story Behind the Wall (page 12). Our conversation prompted some introspection, and I considered my legacy. As a MilSpouse, I have dedicated my time and treasure to serve our military and military families. My husband retired five years ago. I have continued as a mentor and volunteer by connecting veterans and their spouses to employment opportunities. There are many ways people are called to a life of service. In our Veterans Day issue, we celebrate you and commend your service to our country. Many of you continue to serve our military, veteran organizations and your communities in various capacities, working to improve the world. As The King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley has had an enduring impact on music and his fans. When Presley was drafted into the Army in 1957, he was eager to prove to naysayers that he could make it as a Soldier. He was proud of his service and continues to be the most famous veteran. In our cover story, we reflect on Presley's time in the Army on page 86 and recognize other Famous Veterans Throughout History on page 64. In this issue, we share Hot Jobs on page 10 for those seeking employment or a career change. For business owners taking the First Steps on the Road to Certification to expand their business, visit page 60 to get started. The PACT Act Passed, and we share everything you need to know on page 126, including how to ile a claim. On Veterans Day and throughout the year, U.S. Veterans Magazine honors you. We stand in gratitude for your commitment, bravery and the sacrifices you have made in service to our country.
