CPR is more than a certification—it's a life-saving skill that can make the difference between life and death in a critical moment. By strengthening emergency response capabilities, these Soldiers are better prepared to assist fellow service members, partners, and the public!

U.S. Soldiers assigned to Joint Task Force–DC reflect on the values they have sworn to defend. For some, freedom is opportunity. For others, it is the ability to pursue dreams, express ideas, and serve something greater than themselves.
