Because This Is Who They Are...

When a soldier is stateside, their training never really leaves them. The discipline and integrity are something that they carry their entire lives. Proof of this is the story of these two soldiers:

FORT HOOD, Texas (Army News Service, Aug. 17, 2005) - On July 20, two Soldiers from 6th Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, assisted three teenage girls from a wrecked vehicle, saving their lives.

Sgt. Robert Rosa and Spc. Casey Olivieri witnessed the terrible car accident, and without thinking, crossed the median of the highway and started to render assistance."

The soldiers said they think any other soldier would have done the same thing.

“It was the right thing to do,” Rosa said. “We’re soldiers 24-7 and that’s what soldiers do.”
