YUMA, Ariz. - Aug. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- The United States military is the world’s second largest and has troops stationed around the globe.  Since 1972, it has been comprised solely of volunteers who risk their lives for the good of the nation.  It is compromised of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard and these military professionals are supported by Active Guard Reserve (AGR) troops.
