"Men of Honor" gives us a glimpse into the lives of a U.S. Army soldier while deployed back in the day, showcasing equipment, necessities, and possibly letters from loved ones. At the end of the day, even heroes are human beings, and their lives are made up of complex pieces.

The National Archives, which takes special pride in its role in preserving the records of those who have protected our nation, holds both individual service records and unit records starting with the American Revolution and covering all branches of the military.
