In 2013 the population in the United States is estimated to be 316.1 million As of 31 December 2013, 1,369,532 people were on active duty in the armed forces,[4] with an additional 850,880 people in the seven reserve components. If we add those figures together, well get 2,220,412. If we times the number of active duty and reservists by 6, which is the approximate number of immediate family members affected by their Heros absence or the loss of their Hero is 13,322,472. Of course, there are many caring and supportive Patriots and Veterans that are also supporting Our US Troops. I believe the rest of the United States population should be made to listen to: Tim McGraws song... If Youre Reading This. I pray that each person who turns or buries their heads in the sand and/or ignores Our Brave Warriors, whether active duty or Veteran, will see their son, daughter, mother, father, sister or brother vividly in their minds and feel how each military family member goes through each day praying that this song never becomes a reality for them and for the families that have lost their Hero, we live this everyday. ~Mama Lisa And heres some interesting facts: In 2013 the statistics were Less than 0.5 percent of the population serves in the armed forces, compared with more than 12 percent during World War II. Even fewer of the privileged and powerful shoulder arms. In 1975, 70 percent of members of Congress had some military service; today, just 20 percent do, and only a handful of their children are in uniform. https://youtube/watch?v=fz8PISGCWh8
