Just before Memorial Day weekend, the Army asked its Twitter followers how serving in the military has affected their lives.
The tweet was part of a thread that included videos of Pfc. Nathan Spencer, a scout with the Army's 1st Infantry Division sharing how the Army has positively influenced his life.
The call-out attracted nearly 10,000 replies, some of which echo Spencer's remarks expressing pride in his service. But many of the responses illuminate the issues faced by those who serve including post-traumatic stress disorder, veteran suicide and lifelong health problems.
