#3: The Marines

Currently, approximately 186,000 active-duty Marines are serving in the U.S. military. Many people are willing to put themselves in harm’s way to protect our country. But let’s not forget that these Marines are also some of the toughest and most badass people on the planet. Just look at those commercials!

Behind the uniform, they’re just regular people who love their country and are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Whenever you see a Marine, please give them a nod of respect and a thank you for their service. And, if you’re feeling extra patriotic, give them a high-five. They’ve earned it!
