Defending liberty: From battlefield to ballot box

By Bill De Nio, Chief Master Sergeant (ret), USAF | November 1, 2025

For generations, America’s service members have stood watch over our freedoms—on land, at sea and in the air. They have answered the call in times of war and peace, often at great personal cost, to ensure that liberty endures for all. Their mission has always been clear: protect the rights and ideals enshrined in our Constitution.
