A lot of political, social, and economic progress has been made in this country’s history. However, core virtues and values that have made the both the individual and society great may be getting lost.

The Epoch Times had the opportunity to speak with three United States military veterans on the principles they learned in boot camp and on deployment, and how everyone is capable of applying these principles to lead a virtuous, successful, and happy life.

Nick Benas, Matt Bloom, and Buzz Bryan were all deployed together to Iraq from 2004 to 2005. While they joined the military for different reasons, all had a drive to serve the nation.
