Summary of the Program:

A profile of active and fallen service members, taking you into their lives to meet their families. They talk about their sacrifice; everything they miss out on at home and the reason we as Americans must make this sacrifice.

You'll meet a Jewish World War II vet, who guarded German prisoners not knowing Jews across Europe were being slaughtered by the German Army.

You'll learn about a young woman, inspired by her brother's death to organize and compete in races and raise money for injured soldiers.

Fox 2 cameras are rolling when a father returns from Afghanistan to surprise his daughters at school.

See how social media is making the world smaller, allowing service members more access to their families than ever in history.

Finally we salute the 200 plus service members from Michigan killed in the line of duty.
